I know the conventional wisdom that the pinch adds more wear and tear to a rope, but I've never heard that it amounts to reducing the rope-bearing radius to one biner. In since I first owned d-shaped biners, I've almost always reversed and opposed them, and if I've experienced any decrease in the life of my rope, it's been so slight that I haven't noticed. I think rope-on-rock contact is a far greater concern.
I'm with everybody who thinks arguing over lockers, reversed and opposed or otherwise, vs. reversed and opposed non-lockers is a waste of time.
