That is the most propsterous thing I've ever heard!!!
I assure you that just because I "carry" doesn't mean
I miss anything on the trail.  That just doesn't make
sense!!!   What does having a cell phone at the bottom
of my backpack got to do with what I experience? 
Your're argument doesn't hold water with me and I
darsay would it with any rational human being.
