I totally respect your right to a difference of opinion Rod but was a bit curious about your thoughts that leading indoors seems pointless to you. So I took the liberty of looking at your profile and saw this post of yours, "I never really enjoyed trad, to much faffing about for me" on another thread.

Suffice it to say you are quite a different type of climber to the ones I have hung out with over the last 30 odd years.

No disrespect but I think therein lies our difference of opinion. I do believe that being on the pointy end of the rope teaches you something every time you do it. Be it indoors, outdoors, trad or sport and however many times you climb the route, as long as the route is something of a physical challenge to you.
