True - and for the same reason our tendency to equi-space supports can be sub-optimal. It does make understanding the dangerous frequencies easier though if all the little sub-sections are similar, and at the extreme you can try to avoid exciting them.

For context, this is big-brain stuff, and unless you enjoy worrying is of diminishing returns past the first few modes.
