Should I strip paint or sand it?

Should I strip paint or sand it? So then I point out that stripping is faster, and in the case of paint could even be safer than sanding. It’s almost always better to strip than to sand. To begin with, except in cases where the old finish is flaking off, it’s a lot more work to sand than to strip using a paint-and-varnish remover.
