The point of origin concept is stupid. Why to have a point of origin, does the gate not know where it is? Does the wormhole get created between different gates when a random symbol is provided as a point of origin? And why even have it on the DHD and not integrate it into the big red/blue enter button that confirms the address and opens up the gate since it is the same any address you dial from the planet? Also, does every planet have a different point of origin symbol or are there only supposed to be 39 original stargates? If so, again, why even have it, why not just integrate it into the enter/confirm? And why even have it on the gate itself? Also, the original system of constellations as glyphs is stupid. Every planet has different constellations, imagine every planet had different glyphs on the stargate, that would be so impractical that nobody would travel anywhere because they could not travel back, at least not instantly, you would have to analyze the night sky and constellations and triangulate your planet's position. That would mean at least a year on the both-north and south-hemispheres of the planet you are travelling to. That is incredibly impractical and stupid. Not talking about the fact that constellations are completely random and their stars are scattered all across the galaxy, plus stars on the other side of the galaxy are not even visible from earth so no constellation combination can exist to travel to the other side of the galaxy severely limitting the dialing performance.
