I fear we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
Rather than being a slavish, pot-roast-end-trimming following of The
Way, I see the special mountain-fold arrowhead as a way to pack
information into a tight space. Is it somewhat redundant? Yup. But
it can help clarify a complicated move, give the reader another visual
clue about what moves where... and that seems of value to me, at very
little cost. (The arrow has to have a head, so why not make it carry
information?)
I am fascinated folks consider the mountain fold complicated...that may be
coming from overstated "directions".
A generic arrow may change that.
In perusing why folks consider the mountain fold complicated...it may be
coming from hook property in the mountain arrow - always present - that info
is not always applicable.
BTW-A headless arrow carry directional info in the tail (where often there
is more white space in the diagram)...hooking the shaft only when layers are
involved.
Imagine that!
In any discourse I prefer to see the value additive principle at work in
thinking differently (vs. disagree).
