I doubt that "Andrew" and 120.4 would agree with each other.

This is the view of 120.4 from a previous post.

"Minimising the loss of spacing is absolutely essential when the airport is being scheduled at 98% of its available capacity. Just half a mile lost on each gap is multiplied by the number of aircraft waiting and adds up to a huge amount of wasted fuel over a day"

So if trying to achieve this results in "errant controlling" according to Andrew, it wouldn't be something that 120.4 would condone.
