Uhm, you don't get the point, do you? The rules of your national authority cause annoyance far beyond your national borders. E.g. in France, where continuous monitoring of 121.5 is of the utmost importance, in view of the many interceptions by military aircraft in that particular airspace.

Sure, you should always follow the rules, but not blindly. It is our duty as professional pilots to question questionable rules, and to identify potential safety problems. This is a potential safety problem, and that's not just my opinion, but ICAO's too.
