To each his own, I guess.
Few people bother to PRACTICE hitting their QR or sheeting out to try to prepare for when it hits the fan. Keep saying it while folks keep chalking up hits and someday people might think to rehearse emergency stuff before they're in one. I couldn't tell if he launched that one on purpose or was about to and slipped.
