In January (in their first thread) VOR said:
The continental portion of the United States of America is a good example, where the high [but not total] coverage by secondary radar allows the application of Class E, rather than Class C, airspace...

...The third step – and this is critical – is to test and evaluate the risk mitigations offered by the classification...

...Some States – such as the United States of America, and certain European States - have recognised that they have substantial secondary radar coverage, and have been able to factor that coverage, and widespread transponder carriage, in the assessment of risk, allowing Class E airspace to be used more widely
The message seems to have changed since then in a most remarkable fashion. Reminds me of when John Laws had been bagging banks for months then came out with "The banks aren't that bad you know..."

Have you become an anti-Dick, and are you preparing the fight againsT PROJECT ROLLBACK?

...and competent FAA radar coverage?
