The "no doubling of the leading note" comes from the necessity of the

Ooops. This is pretty much a D'oh factor.
Thanks for pointing this out.
By the way, I appreciate music theory. I believe one of the aspect to
be creative is to break the rule, but you can't do that unless you, not
just know it but understand the rule and its background. Coltrane was
keep hitting the avoid note on his blues, over and over. I bet he won't
do that if he didn't know it's the avid note. There is a line between
'creative' and 'wrong'. The wrong usually comes from ignorance and/or
luck of discipline.
How can you tell on first hearing if it's "creative" or if it's "wrong?"
I've heard the advice given to new jazz improvisers that if they hit a
wrong note, to hit it again a few more times. At least that way the
audience knows you're trying to hit that note and just has to accept
that your harmonic language is different from theirs. But it was
originally a "wrong" note.
