That's a good point. The good thing (if there is any good thing) about that kind of lameness is that it is very easy to see cause and effect, since the effect shows up so quickly, and is rarely long term. The kind of lameness that one might expect from riding in mud, or on ice or any other hard or slippery surface, may take much longer to show up, and is more likely to be long-term.
