It's hard to disagree with you, Peter.

Let it rip.

Who cares any more as FT8 is about computers talking to computers while the 
operator is doing
- or has his mind - on other things. Ham Heaven is here according to the masses 
and apparently statistics. RBN is all about computers anyway. 
And we must make decisions based on statistics - right?

To be able to make use of the FT8 "Deep" 
functionality the computer needs the info to decode unknown callsigns that are 
"22 dB below the noise level".

So why not feed the computers with as much info as possible to speed up the 
journey up the DXCC ladder. Then, when the barn is full, some operators might 
even return to real ham radio again without concerns over what is fed to the 
RBN network.
