All this stuff about JT modes is misplaced is it not?

I don't speak for anyone but my self, but the original message from

So there I was, enjoying a nice run in the RU on about 14.133 at 23:54 
or so and all of a sudden a station that did not ID itself told me 
"FREQUENCY IN USE BY NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY NETWORK PLS 
MOVE TO ANOTHER FREQ THX".

So all this blather about JT-65 is just so much noise. 14.133 is not a 
"Digital Exclusive" slice of spectrum is it? It is not an allocation for 
US phone but ARRL says that 14.1005 to 14.115 is for "automatically 
controlled" stations like packet.

So why all the hair shirts whining about JT-65? I work JT from time to 
time and it is a strange little mode. But the original post was about 
the unidentified station warning him off a so-called "emergency net" on 
14.133.

Talk about thread drift!
