donpizmeov, you are missing the point. The point is that CASA:
1. Have set the rules for minimum fuel too low, and
2. By not understanding variable reserve, are incompetent.
Your point seems to be that the rules are irrelevant because pilots will do their "pilots stuff" and always recognise when they will need to load fuel additional to that required by the rules - thus always making for a safe flight.
Regrettably, this approach has never, ever worked, and this point was very well made by Ixixly, at post #43.
