 Why are screws considered  "better" than pins in securing links in a SS bracelet? Given that it is quite easy to size a pin system (the one exception being Seiko's pin&collar), what is the advantage to the screws?

The disadvantages to screws are: they can strip, fallout, be put in so tight only King Kong can loosen them, etc. Plus, usually the screws are flat heads which are very easy to deform (the slot.)
