That's a very bad idea. As the manpage says:
You should strongly consider the consequences of disabling
mount-count-dependent checking entirely. Bad disk drives, cables,
memory, and kernel bugs could all corrupt a filesystem without
marking the filesystem dirty or in error. If you are using
journaling on your filesystem, your filesystem will never be
marked dirty, so it will not normally be checked. A filesystem
error detected by the kernel will still force an fsck on the next
reboot, but it may already be too late to prevent data loss at
that point.
