think about this: which way is a piece propelled during a kickback?
Would you want to have a firm grasp on a board that is going to be
forcefully ejected towards the front of the saw, dragging your hand into
the blade because you have chosen unwisely to PULL a board through? DOH!

See my response to your other post.

Think yanking a tablecloth off a fully set table.


I'd be hesitant to do this with a short board, but I do it all the time with
longer pieces of wood.

I don't think anyone suggested this with a short board. I certainly
didn't and wouldn't.
