I understand that more experience should equal better understanding - but that is not the case with this issue.

A person running commercial trips and who is bolting a trad cliff is naturally going to be slightly biased in favour of commercial considerations, eg easy access/retreat = better value for money/safety for the client.

The issue here is that a belay station on a trad climb with adequate protection has been bolted.
