       Actually it's not, or more people would be doing advanced
ballroom.  Plus it's not just which you land on, but whether or not
you stay there after landing.

      That doesn't even begin to describe it, but let's move on..

       Well that's true.  I'm not sure "what's easiest" is always the
sole criterion, however.   I like what you said earlier about it being
mostly a matter of personal style in tango.   It's certainly not
codified the way ballroom is, so it's curious that so many people seem
to obsess so much wondering what is "correct."
