Vance, I think we need to clarify what each of us is saying.
So let me get this straight, (roughly) you are saying that a-g presumes no
followers - there is only the leading edge.  Whit feels that any followers
can only repeat what the a-g have done (and that would be anal retentive).
So no folowers are possible.  But how do you then make the assumption that
the leading edge/leaders can not exist and henceforth a-g likewise.

(Unless you are suggesting that "leader" is the binary counterpart to 
"follower" and the two cannot exist without each other?)

I am merely proposing that a-g creates an battery/spawning ground from
which others (call them followers if you want) can launch distinct and
diverging material.
