Count me in for making the bar point; natural and strong.

Pointing on the 2pt or running deflects Black from making an inside point, but the former feels too thin by comparison, and the latter leaves way too many shots -- 20 on a quick count (and I'm not impressed by the 2 duplication).

The only other plays worth considering (if that) are 11/5 8/4* or 11/7 8/4*, but surely they lose out to pointing on the 2pt in direct comparison. I guess there's 24/20 11/5, but I'd rather run than do that.

The 2pt might surprise me here: we've come along way since the 70s, but hopefully not that far :) Four-point prime for me.
