No worries Robert, it's my own personal view but either approach can be taken, just pointing out the pitfalls of permanent bridging as there is no guarantee as to what the original component will do in the future if subject to electrical, heat or mechanical stresses, been caught out with that years ago with TV mains droppers where a section had gone open circuit and then bridged with a replacement dropper section only to find that the original section had remade it's contact which resulted in over run valves and CRT.
Theory and practice is an age old debate, all I would say is that a fundamental knowledge of circuit theory will stand good when fault finding.
