That's what I was suspecting. For example I want to include Kathmandu on my RTW, but it's not reachable via a oneworld member. Still far cheaper to just buy a cheap seperate ticket from a nearby oneworld stopover city in my case. I'm having a hard time visualizing a situation where the GE makes financial sense for someone.
