"I have had margin calls too when I was new at this.
But margin is a tool, and a valuable one..."

I think I understand your position but I've seen enough selling panics over the years to believe that most of us would not respond rationally in a market crash situation.I watch a "professional investment " manager sweat bullets during the 87 crash because he had our company on the wrong side of a $30 million bond position with a big, big lose at the end of the day- and month and year.

It is very difficult to go against the tide when blood is running in the streets, IMHO.
