I see your point on the matter. My thoughts are simply that I like the ability to deal with things better, and besides, I like that it's easier to learn. I don't really have the experience to refute your argument (I even specifically avoided Gen IV so I could do a better job in Gen V), so I'll agree to disagree.
I know that PR is attainable with contribution: I was exaggerating that to state that I'm not really that experienced.
