I don't recall reading anything in which the author advocated arranging the
mechanical advantage between the worker and the ginpole.
I don't see why anyone would *want* to set it up this way - the workers gets an
advantage, but the ginpole does not. Putting the mechanical advantage between
the ginpole and the load is where it belongs - both the worker AND the ginpole
"gain".
