What is arbitrary and capricious about setting EMI limits just below a
level that provides a minimum quality standard?
I suspect it's the assumption about receiver sensitivity. If I remember
correctly, British AM broadcast receivers (when this sort of information
was available) had a range of about 30 dB in sensitivity. Roughly
corresponds to whether there was an RF amplifier or not.
