We all know from the episode 'Watergate' on that if there are two gates on a planet (or solar system for that matter), and one gate has an original gate system DHD hooked up while the other does not, then the gate with the DHD becomes the dominate one. (I am not sure what happens where there are multiple gates and DHDs in the same location, I don't think we have come across that scenario.)
Anyway, the Russians knew they could use their DHD as a way to make their gate dominate over ours. Okay, what about in the first season prior to 'Solitudes' when the Antarctic Stargate and DHD were still connected? Because of that connection, wouldn't the Antarctic gate recieved all the incoming wormholes to Earth? The DHD still had a little juice in it, even if it was a small amount. It just seems that this contridicts the whole 'Dominate Gate' idea that they came up to make the Russians have something over us.
Did I miss anything in any other episode that might explain why this wasn't the case?
