Agreed. It takes a lot of HARD braking (comparable to the kind people do in panic stops) to make most brakes fade to the point of non-usability, and it takes this happening in quick repetitions. In other words, you should be okay for daily driving and even stop-and-go traffic, especially if, like most hyper-milers, you stay off the brakes.
