Enforcement of NQT's for National Championships

Has the Championship Committee, or other entity within USMS ever discussed having a more strict policy of enforcement in regards to the NQT's? Why do we state that you must have 3 cuts, in order to swim more events? Why not require a swimmer to have 6 cuts in order to swim 6 events? Just like to understand more from a historical point of view. I have read post that asked, or suggested how to control the size and length of the National meets. Would not having a stricter enforcement of this policy help? Or would it cause swimmers to shy away from these meets? Just a curious thought. Thank you.

    I don't think Ion is a breastroker since he has swam for over 20 years and doesn't like the stroke. There are two other strokes, but fly takes a lot of work. I know because it taking me a while to get back to a fly where I can swim under 40 seconds in a 50yard fly. Maybe, he could try back but I never heard of him swimming that.
