So, just because you've never unintentionally spun at altitude does

not mean your chances at 300 feet are the same.

Excellent point John, and for the same reasons I think the spinning intentionally at altitude and being confident you can recover may provide a false sense of security when thermalling low. It just isn't the same when done done at 300 feet.
