Erik/Mark,

I think you need to read Mr Curry's post again.

I agree with it 100%.

He states "in the drops for aerodynamics and hoods for more comfort". This is true. 

His point is one of "locked arms" being unsafe. That is true.

On the hoods is more comfortable.......isn't that where we all spend most of our time?
 
He never claims you are more stable in the hoods, just more comfortable.

I very much disagree.  If you can't ride in the drops comfortably, get
your bike fit set up such that you can.

Riding in the drops is safer, especially to the crowd you're addressing.
