Irrelevant. One of the fundamentals of driving is that sudden stops can happen at any given second, intent or cause need not apply.

It's not irrelevant.
One of the fundamentals of driving is also not intentionally trying to raise the risk of an accident on the road, regardless of what other drivers are doing.

What you are attempting to twist here is a sudden genuine, non malicious/retaliatory stop, which is not brake checking.

This topic isn't talking about those. This topic is talking about driving recklessly and dangerously by intentionally brake checking the person behind them. That brake checker would be intentionally driving recklessly as a retaliatory act, putting lives at risk for their petty pride. "Oh the guy behind me was tailgating me" is not an excuse for the above actions, regardless of the tailgater driving reckless first.

What others are doing on the road is not an excuse or justification for you to also intentionally endanger lives as well.

Which again, should not be confused for genuine non retaliatory sudden stops. Which is NOT brake checking.
