This is the same thing that happnes on a parallel entry.


True.

Your point is...?

That it's a lot of extra work if you're in a situation where a direct entry
works better. You seem to think that making the choice of entry method is
a lot of work. Once you're comfortable with these, though, it isn't. At
the start of my training, I had to draw things out. Now, I can just "see"
them.

And I've only been doing this for a few years.

But, having seen the "proper" entry, that entry will give you the least
amount of work. And *that* is the point: keeping the workload down to
permit one to concentrate on other things.
