Except FFR's scoring is combo based. If you're going for good ranks, something you can't FC is too difficult to get a decent score on without a lot of mashing and/or luck. So it becomes a lot less fun to play. Of course, things change when you're playing for raw scoring (e.g. a custom tournament, indeed engine, offline engine, etc.).

Maybe that's true for an FFR chart - on SM I'd say anything you are sure you can't pass is too hard, even if it just has one stupid jack section you can't do. The FFR engine is much better for playing really really tough files than the SM engine, because it's so much more forgiving - you can get meaningful scores, and meaningful improvement, even on a file that you are nowhere near being able to hit.
