Agreed.
If one needs pulse tuning not to blow up his amp, he undersized components.

REPLY:
And what is the duty cycle for SSB? 50%? 60%? 85%? The problem is
you can't know because it all depends on your voice characteristics and
how loud you talk at a particular moment.
By tuning up at 100% those questions become irrelevant and your amp is
happy.
