Kent it was never said it wouldn't/couldn't be a grounder. You can see before you set up the climb the second clip could be a potential grounder. Not only by looking at the route, but also reading the guide..
Like WM said, and I had also mentioned on the day, why not just put a longer draw on it... Why not?
I mean they did climb up All the way to 11, why not swing across and put a longer draw on before they even left the ground..?
Little (big?) complaints like this is annoying.. Ruins your day of climbing for yourself and those around. Next time you think a clip will be too scary, either come up with a solution (long draw) or leave the climb, and jump on something else that hasn't got the scary clips. There is PLENTY of climbs at this crag and Van Diemans to get your kick for the day.
No need to complain, and there is definately no need to have a go at the bolter.
If the bolts weren't there, you wouldn't be climbing there at all. Be thankful for what you have, and use it to the best of your ability.

Climb Safe Everyone
