As for the 72-rule and phantom bookings, I think the OP's thought was that the number of people holding SWUs would be a small enough % that it wouldn't be too difficult to spot - there just wouldn't be that many of them out there. I like the notion that a SWU would be exempt from the 72-hr rule.
Yeep. Could not have said it better myself.
