Is this a question? Are you asking if this is true?
If so then the use of "better" would most certainly pertain to a particular
context.
Otherwise it would not be regarded as "better".
Your design may require you do this. It must, however, use a hard commit
sooner or later and the use of hard commit sooner and more frequently than
not is also better. If this contradicts page 75 - then sorry, it's wrong.
