Consider our five senses. Would anyone argue that, if all five are intact, the sense of sight is the most valuable?
If that is the case, how can the postponed revelation possibly rival the immediate revelation? You watch the denouement in real time, and you oooh and aaaah as breath is held, then released.
This is not to say that the origianl Redan hole at NBWL is flawed. It is perfect (I haven't played it; I just trust yuze guize that have.) I've played NGLA (closest I'll ever come to an ace) Pacific Dunes, Old MacDonald, Fox Chapel, and Yale, and photographed Camargo and Sleepy Hollow. Watching the arc, the trace, and the result equal beauteous drama in my mind.
I also love a blind shot over a mount. When talking about a kick plate, however, I crave the visual.
