A few more dB just on the transmit side achieves more than say being able
to sit & run all the time, then quickly S&P new mults because there is no
need to find them, allowing one to quickly resume running?

A few more dB just on the transmit side achieves more than a self-spot
that changes a situation from CQing to oneself to a having a mini-pileup?

Maybe by excessive power, we are talking _really_ excessive power, as
those two examples would be far more beneficial by my reckoning than
running gas - especially when gas doesn't help one hear better.

Perhaps depending on where you are, abuse of spotting has a different
potential & therefore a different perceived level of evil - just like in 
the case
of power, the nearly 6 dB many have on a lot of us & still be within the rules
may not sit right with the latter.

Likewise, spotting abuse as a whole may not register with some as bad.
A black holer self-spotting himself is not likely to achieve much in CQ WW,
is it? ;^)
