Many climbers forget that it is about the system, you adjust the components within the system to suit the situation.

No-one can tell you a magic one size-fits-all solution to your problem. You need to learn a number of solutions and understand the many factors involved. Earlier in the thread some were complaining about an arse covering response they received about GriGris. What do you expect? When you ask a broad question, you get a broad answer. How long are the pitches? What is the experience of the user? Is the protection on the route solid? We cannot expect to be given a definitive black and white answer to a question with so much variability. Use your own judgement, and if you don't like the answers you get to the questions you have asked and the reasons that you give, then that's just too bad. Accept it, learn from it, and move on. Or define your question.
We are but human, and as such we will constantly make mistakes. Our ego will either lead us to believe we are right, despite the fact, and will deceive us in many different ways so that we don't feel shit about being wrong. Or we learn, accept, and continue lifes' lesson. The cool thing is that we get to choose the way in which we move through life.
In other words, don't succumb to the method but embrace the system.
