Not splitting hairs, just being accurate. I had a stone stuck in my M4 front brake once and it sounded terrible, but there was nothing wrong with my brakes. Fortunately, in 5 years on ownership of the M4, it has never happened again. The shields are about as much a function of your brakes as the hood (bonnet) is to the function of your motor.
