Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but so far I haven't seen it.....
OK, been thinking again!!! Why do we need to dial a point of origin to establish a wormhole to another stargate?
The first six glyphs are used to establish the 3D coordinates of space for the location of another stargate, but why dial a seventh? Surely the stargate you're dialling from can act as its own point of reference (especially now we know about the correlative update system that adjusts the network to compensate for stellar drift etc).....the gate should "know" where it is in relation to all the others.....
I can accept this is DHD related and seeing as the Earth stargate doesn't have one you need to dial a PoO........
But seeing as the Ancients were clever enough to build the stargate system, they'd surely make it easy to use and intuitive.......so why the PoO??
Just seems like extra work to have to check each DHD for its unique PoO symbol to dial out/home when it can be a built in feature.........
Any ideas??
