That's pretty binary thinking simey. You might like to consider that there's a wider and finer-grained spectrum of climbing experiences, not all of which are necessarily to your taste.

And for the record, I have never been, nor ever will be, capable of tackling something like Alive in a Bitter Sea, despite fantasising about the echo point wall routes after being blown away by that wall as viewed from the 3 Sisters. Despite that, I greatly appreciate that things like this exist for people like Paul to go out and have what will probably be an enduring memorable experience.
