Stupid. I prefer Tau for this reason. Practical. Deathwatch are my favorite Space Marines since they are so practical compared to the majority of the Imperium. I would never lead from the front as an Inquisitor lest I doom the Imperium. Not unless I needed to do something only I had the skills to do, and in nothing less than power armor.
In the Imperium, you are replaceable. No matter who you are, what you know, or what it is you do, unless you sit on the Big Chair, you can be replaced, and the galaxy will not notice your loss.
This is true, too, of the Tau, except it applies to their entire species. They are, galactically speaking, insignificant.
