Ok, that actually makes sense. Summarising: You have two options. Either:
a) It hard redirects you, and there's absolutely no link back to where you came from. Very bad for maintenance, working on the redirect itself etc. b) It redirects you, but leaves the link back to the original redirecting page.
or (c) It hard redirects you, and there's a link back to where you came from.
This is the false dilemma.
