Fantastic post RGOLD!
Glad you posted and cleared up your view after the previous contextless quoting of yourself.
Despite that I am nominally on the other side of the fence to you in this discussion, I agree with pretty much everthing you said. I too almost never redirect and employ the same method as you for my belays when I am not using the autoblock.
With regard to effort of belaying with autoblock I find that friction is massively reduced when using a large radius biner. (original reverso) This makes life much easier and makes Z-dragging quite doable. (I have done this myself and found the friction to be low)
