Not really playing with fire, but for training and commuting purposes there is really no need for tubs. If you get a puncture on the way to the velodrome with tubs then you're pretty muchscrewed, they don't like you using pit stop or similar foam solutions as it would make a mess of the track if it leaks out and regluing a tub takes much longer than changing an inner tube on a clincher.
