I think i get his point. well if you top rope a sport climb free it is a lot of extra physical work to go back and lead it but most people do. Some people are happy with the TR send of a sport climb and happy with a pre-placed send of gear route. My simple point is that neither can count as claiming the FFA. Just because it is "a lot of extra physical work" is a pretty lame excuse to put it mildly.
