I absolutely agree with that statement. If you don't have to force a  
cutting tool, you have more control over it and hence less likely to  
have a mishap. However, if you are going to have a mishap - and blade  
meets flesh - be aware that a sharp tool will make a much larger and  
deeper cut than a dull tool - although on a positive note I suppose  
the larger and deeper cut will be smoother and less irregular - I  
presume surgeons prefer it that way.....
