I suspect the bands are open a lot more than we think, but if everyone assumes the band is closed or waits for someone else to call CQ and no-one transmits, no signals will be heard and the band WILL sound dead I often hear multiple CW beacons chirping away at the bottom end of the "dead" 10m band.
