As Pete Livesey (the father of modern climbing) once observed, when you climb a new route, you're creating a product, so if you're throwing bolts around in inappropriate places, you're 'product' is tainted.
When putting in a bolt, you are changing the rock forever, so leave your ego at the bottom of the crag and place them sensibly, future generations may thank you.
