I agree with points 2 and 3 ... Don't really see that point 1 is of any significance though. For starters D'arcy had already left the band (possibly been fired) by the time they split so it never seemed likely she was going to take part in the reunion. James Iha had no interest in the reunion. Anyways, it's always been fairly common knowledge that almost everything you hear on a Pumpkins record was performed by Corgan and Chamberlin. Corgan played most of the guitar and bass parts on the records. Iha and D'arcy had very little input when they were in the band because as you say Smashing Pumpkins has certainly never been a democracy. So it's really the same band it's always been. Unfortunately Billy Corgan just doesn't appear to be able to write the types of songs he once did any longer.
