I can't speak for Tavi, but "It's easy to find simple dances with a down-the-hall figure..." suggests that finding more dances that go down the hall is not the pressing question, not that down the hall is a problem per se. Down the hall in a line of 4 is by far the most common these days, and it's distinctive enough that I'd be surprised to see it more than twice in an evening. (Consider how often dancers automatically end a swing facing across without the caller telling them to.) So one's program needs to include a lot more dances that don't contain a down-the-hall figure.
