I think the assumption that the pro 'pole course will be a superior experience to the anti 'pole choices is coming from putting too much weight on Swen's comments about incentivizing those choices. He didn't say there was more or less content or attention to the anti-pole path, just that the pro-pole parth existed.

I love this quote if his from something I saw in the last couple of weeks: "there's no good-path and no evil-path, just choices"

I think a lot of unlikely conclusions and predictions are coming from this assumption.
