Ah, thats the funny thing, I think that's literally why clipped riders like it.
For me I feel so much more in control when I'm clipped and will happily ride way gnarlier stuff clipped than I will on flats.
But for me I started riding clips at about age 12 so it's completely second nature for me. In fact a while back I nearly bit it hard and much to the surprise of the flat pedal rider behind me, I got a foot down faster than he could believe. Like he had to double check I was actually riding clips. Now that's my experience not everyones, and I understand that. But for me the exposed places are where the extra 'connection' feels best.
