    • Use one pin per missing cusp or marginal ridge, up to
    a maximum of four.
    • Use large-diameter pins whenever possible.
    • Use the minimum number of pins compatible with
    adequate retention (pins weaken amalgam).
    • Pins should extend 2 mm into dentine and restorative
    material.
    • Keep 1 mm of dentine between the pin and the
    enamel–dentine junction.
    • Pins should be placed away from furcation areas and
    parallel to the external tooth surface.
    • Coating of pins with adhesion promoters such as
    Panavia and 4-META materials improves fracture resistance of composite and amalgam cores.
    • Pins rarely need to be bent.

    These pins you have referred to are concerning pin-retained amalgam right? because the points dont seem to corelate with post&core theory.
