I read that same article, and if I recall right, he said something to the
effect of:

"What do you want, brakes that are quiet, or brakes that STOP you?!"

As an aside, Campagnolo, an Italian bicycle comp./wheel manufacturer, once
considered brakes as tools for speed modulation, and therefore never paid
anyone any mind regarding stopping power/distance (of course, it helped
that they had the best braking system by any definition at the time...)
