Obviously, John, none of this would be the least bit exciting if the end
result were not better than COFDM. The whole point of the exercise is to
be able to operate in severe multipath, even dynamic multipath, with
higher spectral efficiency and a lower C/N margin than alternatives.

It wouldn't be nearly as much fun if all I was hoping for was "almost as
good as."
