Exactly that's why it's common in Mexican recipes to leave seeds, it's a totally different experience to eat Guacamole with and without pepper seeds.

  To my understanding, capsaicin is in the flesh around the seeds, but the seeds themselves are not spicy and tend to add sweetness. Is that correct?

    I too have read that, but my experience is completely different. Nothing burns like the seeds.

      That jibes with my experience. Leaving the seeds in seems to create a hotter dish.

    AFAIK, the seeds tens to be coated in the oils from the surrounding flesh and bring heat for that reason, but less than the ribs themselves. I don't think there is heat in the seeds, but that's something of an academic distinction in most cases.
