<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Regarding the “right answer” to the question of how many handbrakes are necessary, semantics enter into the answer. Both of the following conflicting answers are true:</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">1) There is no “magic number” or accurate rule of thumb, guideline, chart of information, or accurate means to calculate the proper number of handbrakes required. Under those terms, it is impossible to know the number, so it is accurate to say that there is no number.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">2) There is a specific minimum number of brakes necessary. One less than the minimum, is too few. </span></p>
