Overheard a guy at a competition say trimming fat is overrated

I always trimmed my brisket down to a perfect quarter inch but after hearing him explain how the fat cap bastes the meat and prevents the flat from drying out, I left a thicker layer on my last cook and the difference was huge, has anyone else tried leaving more fat on.

That extra fat saved my flat from turning into jerky.

Ha! Same thing happened with my brisket last weekend. That fat is a lifesaver for sure.
