The intended audience was novice road racers. The point brought
forward was riding in the hoods is your default position in a race,
and the drops are for getting aero.

I do not agree with this, especially for novice racers. If you tell
your novice racers to race in the hoods, fine. My team does not, and
we have a lot of young novice racers who have benefited from this.
