Well, how about this scenario - I've been through the dunes w/ RDM, BLM, and WHM. Your logic is it's ok for me to be PLed since I've been through a few times already.
Now I decide to lvl NIN and WAR - no prior experience being a tank whatsoever. That PL prevents me from trying to learn hate control because he/she has completely messed up party dynamics.
Even if some jobs are similar, there are ALWAYS differences and it takes time to learn them. You also don't always know how far your party members are along the way. I almost always end up partying with someone who doesn't have a subjob. We are doing a great disservice to him/her by PLing.

Well that's my point - PL prevents us from properly teaching newer players how to be effective in party situations. I would rather suffer through and learn the right way than being rushed along and not knowing jack sh*t about how to play my job.
