Mmm . . . perhaps it's time for two distinctly different types of height information to be used. i.e. Standard all the time to stop aircraft bumping into one another, and a new display for terrain and airfield use.
This might have been nonsense once, but with modern flight-decks, the total separation of a theoretical spacing height, and a true working height, starts to make more sense.
No, I don't expect anyone to take this seriously. Keep twiddling that little knob.
