Totally agree with your "at the request of the next sector". Garbage like that has joined the hundred and one other useless bits of crap that we hear every day. Life's too short to worry about whether the pilot might think my personal judgement might have been wrong....I credit pilots with more intelligence....they KNOW how busy it is up there!
I'm not going to break into tears if the next sector can't take my traffic.
