True, but I did once receive an OO report for operating USB on 14150.5.

The guy argued that lower sideband suppression is not adequate and one should never operate below 14153 (suppressed carrier frequency) regardless of 
which sideband is in use.

Needless to say, only a tiny fraction of hams would agree...
