Hogwash! : )

As long you're hiking what difference does it make?  I feel the PCT, or any
other long trail, is the hub so to speak and any route that gets you from A
to B is ok with me.

The guidebooks have numerous alternates and all are valid.  Wait until you
get on the CDT, you'll know just what I mean.
