They do, however, suffer from having exactly one
cutting edge in play at any given time, and they create tangential
forces on the workpiece which, though not as bad as lateral forces, are
still a bitch, and serously limiting.


I seriously disagree here

I routinely have 3, 4, 5 or more tools (edges) in the cut at the same
time on lathes, and on quite a few machines, they are on the same slide.

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.
