Also, another reason a quality LT is important is that it allows you to assign a double team on the interior OL, thus reducing the importance of guard play further.

Obviously failed tackles are not the only options for guards, I never said that. I said that failed tackles expand the pool of available players that can be effective guards, which increases supply and lowers demand. The difference between those two statements is not subtle or easily missed, so it seems like you're trying to misconstrue my point to make it easier to argue against.

Guard is not a value position. It's because guards can't have a huge impact on the game. It really is fairly simple.

Have you started your fire Ballard campaign yet? Did you forget to apply for that job?
