Sorry Dave, I don't follow you as to what would be "stupid".
The point is that any suggested frequency exclusive to 1 baud suggests
to 16 baud users to stay off. However, there are many more 16 baud users
than 1 baud if you monitor both frequencies, and QSO's move much faster,
allowing for more users to use the space. Suggesting 1 baud primarily
for VHF/UHF, where it is more effective, would provide more suggested
space for 16 baud users on HF and relieve congestion.
20m is only one example, of course, and the same principle could be
applied to other bands.
Perhaps I misunderstood you.

Exclusive only on 20M, not *all bands*, that would be stupid...
