Default RE: neck shot vs. shoulder shot???????

i've never had a problem with neck shots and nobody i know has, in fact those shot in the neck tend to drop right away instead of 20 yrds away after their lungs fill with blood
best found high shoulder shot produces minimal tracking like none.
This is where I get confused I guess. What the heck is the difference? You have to walk an extra 20 yards to your deer that's dead? Seems like this logic is used a lot with the reasoning for neck shots. "They drop in their tracks". Do people just like saying that statement. Is it a thrill to see them flop right where you shoot them? A macho thing? Tell me there is more to the neck shot than not wanting to walk an extra whole 20 yards to retriever your deer. God forbid you actually have to follow a bloodtrail that Ray Charles could find if you double lung/heart shoot a deer.
