LOL. One needs to decouple the controls. Even if you hit a feature and your body gets catapulted forward or up or back, you should still have the ability to give as little or as much clutch, throttle or front brake as required or wanted.
A popular saying amongst shooters is to not pull the trigger, but rather to squeeze the trigger. This can only happen if you can decouple the two actions of holding the piece and firing the piece.
I always see people with all four fingers on the clutch lever or brake lever. IMO, it's just a matter of time before they crash. Slow speed work and technical riding requires precise steering control, braking and clutch work. This may be more offroad oriented but slow speed skills are key when riding downtown IMO. (ie. instead of putting a foot down at a light, just do a track stand and modulate the brakes/throttle/clutch as required to keep it upright for a few seconds or putting the feet up on the pegs from a standstill and only then ride off, etc. I'm not good at it although I treat every day out as a training session)
Also every bike is different. On my 690 Enduro with a hydraulic clutch, I only ever use one finger on the clutch and one on the front brake. Riding offroad or in areas where you are going dump the bike, this is even more important as you may need to hold the bike upright with the available fingers on the grips so the more fingers on the grips, the better.
However on my buddy's S1000RR, I need to use two of my weak fingers for his non hydraulic clutch setup. Not really hitting rocks with that thing though haha.
