Or gravel, or dry dusty dirt, or dusty concrete...or any of the other things that make stopping in an emergency with only a front brake more dangerous than using a rear, you're also basically saying you would be happy with a front brake only unless you were descending a mountain (or maybe going fast at any other time) front brake only is more dangerous and means you have to ride slower to compensate for inferior braking/maneuverability.
