I would agree. But, few pilots can figure that one out.

Then, if I am with a Center that is trained to take exception with
altitudes below the MEA or MIA, then they will also take exception with
my 91.177 selection, if it is "too low."


True, but it is ATC's responsibility to issue me a clearance of "VFR on top
at or above nnnn"
