Alt did in fact mention using a spread restriction instead of a point restriction. But he also mentioned two other preferred options for increasing the buck age structure and let's see if you remember what they were?
painted yourself into a corner so we duck the subject with a little memory challenge eh?
I beleive there were actually more than two rattled off but all were deemed to be not socially feasible. Therefore none were "preferred as you call them" The most effective but also the most socially unworkable one, of course, was to limit buck tags for all weapons and seasons.
Funny, in spite of all the "data" you've provided to claim that AR's promote high grading that the very state you use for your example still has AR. They have simply inproved their method
