I think the point is simply that if you want to get "in over your head" you would have to do so on routes where the bolts aren't very far apart. You wouldn't do this at Darrington, and you certainly wouldn't do this on gear. Go to Smith or Vantage and have at it, however if this were everyone's MO you would find a heckuva lot more bolts at climbing areas, which I think everyone agrees sucks.
