M609 - couldn't agree more. Why do some ANSPs cater for errors instead of trying to prevent them before they happen?

Assuming it is correct doesn't seem very safe to me. It is very common for an aircraft to request a different cruising level to the one filed. And especially common these days for an aircraft to fly at a different speed to that filed to save on fuel.
