While I respect your opinion and your experience, IMO free hand ripping without a splitter is never a truly safe operation no matter how sharp your blade is or how attentive you are. Lots of guys might get through life without having an accident, but lots of others will be maimed simply because they didn't use the correct tools or jigs for the job. Free hand ripping just seems pointless when there are much better tools for the job (track saw, taper jig, etc.).
