Agreed, but if stopping on a brakeless fixie has been shown to meet the stopping distance for vehicles stated in high way code then there shouldn't be an issue. Superior stopping is always going to be a good thing don't get me wrong but if you meet the requirements deemed to be the minimum needed to ensure public safety then the actual vehicle/bike isn't the issue.
