Nature of the beast.
Have you heard Ant McCrossan go solo for 5+ hours on one of the demi-Classics without the luxury of the sightseeing book that Paul reads from?
I agree with much of what you are saying, but I think there is a strong under-current of trying to pack too much shiny stuff in. Maybe that would work for broader TV audiences where people have the attention span of a goldfish. It is a two-edged sword. Much like the motos, and the debate about the barriers and the public, and whether there should be more or less time bonuses, and.....Hey look, squirrel!
