I general, I do agree with this statement, and I didn't try to make the opposite impression in this discussion, but .......
In this particular case, it's not "about variety", it's about crashing for sure if you don't slow down.
It's not about "guaranteed finishing", it's about guaranteed not finishing if you miss the place (which was very hard to spot) in the notes.
I'm sorry, but those few bumps were sending the car in the air, then landing in another bump, and then crash .......
As you said, the rally phylosopy is to pass all sections as fast as possible.
This particular place was all about slowing down. The only way to avoid crashing, was to slow down.
Experience in writing notes was the only skill tested here.
I don't think driver skills, or suspension setup could off avoided the crashes.
Things are not black and white as some here were trying to place them. Difficult/Technical sections yes, but not traps please.

Anyway, I'm also stepping out from this discussion.
