Are you sticking by your previous 
"""

claim?

If so, consider this sequence:
1) Create A
2) Create B
3) Delete A
4) Create C
After stage 3, what is the lowest free cluster? Is it after B, 
or where A was?


If not, then can you point out where you retracted the claim?
And maybe why you held that point of view in the first place. 
And what made you change your mind.
