Seeing how statistically, your chin, lips, nose and cheeks are the most likely to scrape on the asphalt when eating chit in a crash, full face helmets are a good idea, all around.  I still have my full face with the visor and chin piece all chewed up after getting up close and personal with a pregnant Doe at speed, just for a reminder of that.
A few weeks ago when I slid on the sand and dumped the bike, the chin guard and visor of my HJC BT modular was pretty scraped up. As much as my ankle and shoulder hurt I think the chin and cheek damage that would have occurred would have been a lot more painful. Certainly more visible.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
