The problem I have is with non-pilots, who don’t know the system, giving
advice to pilots.
"Slow and safe" is only best for non-pilots who are afraid of flying. "Fast
and ask for what you want" is the normal way, and it’s what everyone is
expecting. If you don’t get it, you take what you get. Most pilots’ idea of
"keeping things simple" is saying where you’re going and asking for what you
want.

If you have a problem with my recommendation of V66, then explain exactly
what
is wrong with it. Sheesh. What's bad about being prudent and keeping
things simple?

Slow and safe is best.
