Using head when there's lots of data make sense, but I really don't see any advantage to avoiding useless cat. Useless cat is way faster to type and make additions to. I sort of get the feeling that 'useless cat' is really just a fun copypasta kinda like when people like post "I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it..."
