I use them all the time, but I don't see their frequency as sacred.

Anybody, including you, me or the IARU can set up a band plan. Only if
it is adopted by the FCC or your country's equivalent does it become
enforceable.

How about this scenario:

Station A listens on 14.100 and hears nothing.
Station A sends QRL? a couple of times and receives no response.
Station A calls CQ and shortly thereafter is jammed by a beacon.

Which station is at fault?
