I think scarlett nailed it with his first indexed point "i) not used to using gears to cop out".
The reason that I am slower on gears up hill is because I CAN change down and so I do. Repeatedly, until I have no more gears. Then I slowly creep up the hill, mentally berating myself for being a pussy. This is a) not possible on fixed, b) not what BMMF or Dov does.
