Does anyone else flat out refuse to do kick sets because they hate it and are convinced the knee will get aggravated to the point that the returns become negative?
Is there evidence to support that you are in fact better off avoiding kicking or am I just being a wuss?

Although fairly hypothetical, this sounds like a fun little game.
Swimmer A shows a truly deficient kick and quite an efficient pull. Could be a triathlete spending most of his time swimming with a pull buoy and coming from a running background.
Swimmer A shows an outstanding kicking ability relative to a poor upper body efficiency.
Both show an unbalanced stroke where the weakness can be considered as a flaw.
I'd expect swimmer A to remain at 1:05, or, if he doesn't kill the speed with his kick, faster. Getting under the minute is unlikely in my opinion.
