Hoing is more of a reflection of the pilot thats hoing than the the pilot who get ho'ed.
generally, if you ho on your merges with regularity, its because your a horrible pilot.
That said...
If you ho and miss the shot, expect to die.
Also, people who ho regularly rely on it to survive and thus never get better and never learn any other ACMs, except maybe for the all so frequent Spitty stick stirring when your on their six.
So, if you ho, you might as well announce on chann 200 that you suck at flying.
