No, it was yours, Sam. Whether you knew it or not. Steven simply picked up
on your fairly inocent, but mistaken statement that ATC uses SERVICE
VOLUMES to guide direct routing. You even referenced a table that is NOT
based on service volumes.

You both agree about the limitations on direct routing and Steven knows
it. He just likes to nit pick the details.


Details are important. The difference between AGL and MSL altitude at many
navaid locations in the US can be several thousand feet.
