Easy, take a look at the picture that started this thread. Let's say the fixed ring was actually worn more than 50% and you decided you were going to do something to fix it. What would you do with that setup? If your response is adding a couple of biners a link or two up the chain from the rap rings, then you have successfully created a gaggle. Nice work.
I see what you mean. With the rings in their present state my reflex would've been to simply add biners to the rings so the rings stop deteriorating. I know it sorta defeats the purpose of rap rings, but isn't the point to make the anchors last as long as possible?
With the rings used more than 50% I would've probably done the same thing but I would have also reported the need to remove the rings and use the biners instead. Makes sense?

the proponents of booty should damn well know the difference between something that helps everyone and something that helped one person from pissing themselves
How you compare may not be as important as to whom you are compared
