That's true, but overcaution is just as bad as rashness. It is far better to dare mighty things than to just sit at home and not dare anything for fear of failure. Faramir knew the risks he was taking, and he felt that the ultimate result would far outweigh those risks. He welcomed death, rather than a life of thralldom, and I commend him for that. In some situations, you have to be a little rash. That is the only way you will succeed at anything.
