So are you trying to contrive an imaginary route into a logical paradox? If it is "totally protecable" then... what is the problem? Did you forget to insert the corollary that this imaginary route is also nearly impossible to lead while placing the gear? If you are going to continue with these types of analogies please try to make them relevant. Its hard enough to argue with you much more arguing for you as well. :)

To take a really existing example similar to your imaginary route, Yesterday has a stick placed wire. But you dont have to preplace that wire on Yesterday anyway and many people have done it without. I always have mainly because its fun to try and cowboy it in, but its not a really bad fall like c--khead crack or mr natural. The best aid climber in the world is not going to stick place the gear on c--khead or mr natural.
