I was comparing pitons to carrots which are essentially function as a circular piton. Some carrots are bombproof, but people are paranoid about them and want to replace them. But the point I was making is that there are old pitons at Araps (which are way dodgier than any carrot) such as on Snowblind and Lunatic, which remain. I climbed both routes last year and the old pins are still there. My understanding is that they remain to preserve the historical integrity of the route. So if such logic is applied to Serpentine for instance, leave Malcolms old bolts in if they are still solid.
