Well, it is a good point, but there's a problem. It is almost impossible to blip the throttle when downshifting and braking simulaneously, unless you have a couple of fingers on the bar. When braking, I use my first 2 fingers on the lever, and keep my other 2 fingers on the throttle so I can blip it when I downshift. However, as soon as I finish braking, I take my fingers off the lever and put them back on the throttle. This greatly reduces hand fatigue, and prevents the possibility of inadvertently dragging the front brake in a corner. I believe that most pro racers use this same technique. I have never seen a GP racer use more than 2 fingers on the brake lever, and they are arguably the best riders in the world.
