Some are worring about nuisance calls.

A few well publicised instances of people having to mortgage their homes after they called SAR because something went bump in the night will fix most of these.  The rest can mortgage their homes to pay for their selfish stupidity.  We're selfish too, but at least we're not stupid about it.

SAR is one of those jobs described as hours of boredom with minutes of excitement.  They live for those minutes.  Even the stupid calls are good practice for them.

There are going to be nuisance calls.  So what?  How many people who actually need extraction, like MT did, should wait or die in pain?  Depending on the degree of your opposition to SPOT you're essentially wishing him the pain.  He & I don't get along on political items, but I'll always wish him tight lines and bug-free campsites.
