This undermines the potential for a 5.11 or 5.12 leader to repeat a route in the style of the FA. A progressive mindset dictates that one repeat the past with the minimum being the manner of the first ascent. No reversionism please.
The above nugget is like a 5.9 handcrack. Just because jamming trips up a lot of people doesn't mean it's not the same mindless move over and over again.
Try harder next time. Maybe throw in something sexist, or a dig at Pennsylvanians.
