Well spotted, DD - at last we're getting somewhere - I (grudgingly ) accept that as the justification for the readback procedure from your point of view.

Now we still need to deal with whether this "double-speak" is actually effective at reducing altitude busts, as claimed - or is it simply part of the general a*se-covering mentality that is everywhere today ...
