That's a fair approach. My point was more that it's hard to work in IPC if you're starting a *ONE* in South America (and trying to see other parts of South America) because of the two stopover rule. For whatever reason, it's harder for me to justify buying/redeeming miles for a separate ticket to IPC than it is contorting my RTW ticket to fit it in. Illogical, I know...
