What value does this comment bring?
Aside from being super obvious, it's the easiest thing to do, but also brings no value. Is it helpful for software engineers to just "stop being in front of the computer" when faced with RSI? How are they going to feed their family? Same for pro riders or any other professional people who can't "just stop". Pushing the limits has value in that sense.
But it can also be an intrinsic goal. These people are out there to push themselves beyond any previous limits. It really does help you discover things about yourself and your body in ways not many other things do. The sense of achievement and the memories created are priceless, but also helps you put so many other things in perspective with your newly minted experience.
I find it very defeatist and boring to say "just quit" when faced with difficulties.
