For Triples, I would say you are fully disrespecting history!

Recent history as well as ancient. Why should we care much about the 
heroic efforts of Wilde, Johnson et al if we can ring a peal of Stedman 
Triples with 5000 changes and bobs only?

Triples is the stage where a peal needs to be an extent.
