Maybe this is and should be "one of those threads." Maybe not. Maybe it was nothing but a troll in the first place. If so, I still say: why not let somebody take a stab at the matter?

 

Bingo! And to answer you're questiong: BECAUSE IT'S A TROLL.

I think it depends on the access to the pitch. I'm working on a route down here that has 5 pitches bolted on lead. Then the sixth pitch was gained by climbing a trad pitch off-route, tension traversing back into the intended line, and placing the anchor. The protection bolts were placed on rappel after we TR'ed the pitch several times, marking where we wanted the bolts to be with chalk. We're hoping to be done with next week before I head north - tell you more about it then.
