I think the point both of you (Percy and Leigh) are missing 
is that if you ring 23 spliced you ring each lead of each 
method.  In Tony Peake's spliced plain cinques you ring a 
very small number of leads of the method.

If you're learning all of the leads, or even most of them, 
learning the structure is clearly of benefit.  But if you 
only need to know one lead (or a small fraction of the 
total) and know in advance which one(s) it will be, it's 
probably simpler to just learn the line.
