Deciding that the power level of 50 W is acceptable for Class B,

kind of judgement as saying that 3500-3525 kHz is not allowed for
all license classes.

Not the same at all, Jim.

How is it any different? They're both a matter of judgement, not
some absolute scientific or engineering fact or limit.

There is a clear safety advantage to lower power for less

users,
especially if you don't have a strenuous examination of safety
issues.

Agreed!

But setting the line at 50 W output is purely a matter of judgement.
Is a
50 W transmitter somehow "safe" at the proposed testing level, but
not a 100 W transmitter?

Consider that if the 50 W license were created, a considerable
number of new Class B hams would probably use 100-150 W rigs
and simply not run them at full power.

indeed the exactl elevel of course arbitary

As if you'd know, Markie. You can't even afford third hand equipment
from the bargin bin.
