well that is your opinion, but when I am getting 3 or 4 food, and 8 or 9 production per trade route to my 1 pop city, it grows my empire quite quickly. All trade route yields are based upon the differential of the two cities, with the largest producer getting the benefit.
And I never said, I don't grow my cities... I just always have a 1 pop city to send my trade routes to.
If you're constantly plopping down cities, this strategy is quite effective. It also make that city in the ice that will never amount to anything more than a resource worth it a whole lot more.
