I think the only "WTF" here is WTF are you doing spouting off about issues you don't understand.

First: The fall you described is slightly less than factor 1. FF=fall distance/rope out.

Second: Soft catch/dynamic belay on steep terrain can save you from smashing back into the wall at speed and trashing your feet or ankles when you penj, and it's less of a jolt on the body of the falling climber.

Maybe less training and reading for you and more real world climbing experience.
