As caloso alluded to, 99% of cyclists accused of "racing" are just getting from point A to B (a bit faster). Also, when I give a cyclist an "on your left" and 3 feet of space it's a safe pass even if it felt dangerous.
This is true but the point I was trying to make is that if a rider actually races -- has a USAC racing license, trains according to a plan, and pins on a number at an event where everyone agrees that it is a race and they post your results -- that rider is a lot less likely to take the bait and get drawn into a Cat 6 MUP race.

At least among the racers I know.
