You probably need to explain BEags, otherwise that looks like a really dumb response.

Anything that makes a challenging regime less challenging must be a good move:

- Receivers and givers can expand their working envelope
- Multi-ship receivers can better harmonise their 'leaving fuel' with a quicker cycle through available baskets
- Easier contacts in turbulent conditions
- Lower risk of drogue / probe / aircraft damage
- Enabling AAR with degraded flight control modes for the receiver
- Enabling AAR across the speed range with just 1 basket type (ie the end of high and low speed baskets)

In the real world anyone can have a bad day and it only takes 1 aircraft to baulk the timeline for all the other receivers waiting on the wing.
