i have no issue with Silver being above OWE but agree that green is a bit much considering you can just buy it. I do 90+% of my travel on CX (would be somewhere around 1000-1200 cp per year but prefer AA mileage rates and almost 100% upgrades on US domestic). I was just surprised because I thought common belief was that OWE was above Silver in upgrade/op up priority so was wondering if that had changed.
