Yes you have acess to all the gas, but you forget, only to the *remaining*
gas.  In the event of a freeflow, chances are you will have lost *more*
than half your gas overboard.

That is to say with independents you can lose up to half your gas, with
manifolds you lose some amount, which may well be *much* greater than
half (like "all" for instance).
