My experience suggests it's far less likely than that.

And even if they're totally possible to fly, but "too close together", there's STILL a chance something will be cancelled.
That's true, but hard to guess what it thinks is too close.

The tariff only prohibits booking the same O/D city pair twice on the same day, so I've done nothing wrong in making these bookings.

There's no upside to the way things are now, and the unpredictability and, at times, utter wrongness of the system is quite detrimental.

So I see little to no downside to it.
