Agreed.

However, the context of this discussion seems to be pilot-nav random
routing and the reason for a procedure turn at this particular approach.
It is not a vectors-to-final routing where ATC may assign an altitude.

Are you of the opinion that the IFR charts suggest that when on a random
route and NE of ALIKE (but south of the BJC 090 radial) that 7300 is a
perfectly OK altitude to use?

My teaching has been that when not on a "solid black line" or receiving
radar vectors from ATC, to not go below the MSA, OROCA, etc., for that
area.
