We need Perk starting so KG doesn't get pounded in the early going, avoid cheap fouls, and focus on what he does best.. and that is roaming defensively.
Perk is there to absorb the damange of guys like D-12, and other centers who are scrubs but hit hard.
Doc doesn't like to play Perk too much anyways so it isn't like we'd have to struggle to find minutes for C-Webb.
C-webb's biggest addition would be allowing us to almost consistently have a Center backup between him and Pollard. Baby + CWebb off the bench isn't that bad. And hopefully that means Garnett can stay where he feels comfortable at the PF position.
Kudos for having the patience to articulate this point, again.
EDIT: Adaptation is one thing, forming a strategy whose main premise is to expand the need for your best player to play outside his comfort level with minimal added benefit (show me evidence that three 20 point scorers on the floor at the same time is not enough for 90% of the game), all while compromising another facet of the game (defense), to me is hard to argue. Continuously saying so, isn't swaying me in the least.
