Third, I guess you haven't been flying long enough to hear of a "block"
assignment, where you got your druthers where to fly between the upper and
lower limits of the block.

While it's possible that IFR traffic can fly at any altitude, in my short
flying career, I have never heard of IFR traffic being assigned a VFR
altitude or an altitude other then ending in 1000's of feet.

First of all, "fly" is not the same as "being assigned". Secondly, IFR
traffic is regularly assigned altitudes "other than ending in 1000's of
feet". I guess you need a longer flying career before you discover this
on your own (hint: it happens most commonly at the beginning and end of an
IFR flight).
