I am not sure how we got off on the issue of fairness of starts. I guess that is a factor for some, but not so much for me. I think all that evens out in the long run.

I think I started the "fairness of starts" comment. Fairness of starts over a series of, say, 10 games of 1x1 would tend to even out. But, in one game of a 10-player rated game, a bad starting position equates to having 10 bad starts in 10 separate 1x1 games.
Well, that's my thought, anyway... .
