Because by allowing the player to choose air or ground defense later, we add a 
non-linearity to the game. <troll>Non-linearities are what make Starcraft the

If we make the player's life too easy, the player will get bored, and glob2 
will become like glob1 : a screensaver.

Perhaps this idea (the turret with two different upgrades) in itself is not 
good, but we really have to keep and add non-linearities in glob2.
