That's not true Mick. If the airfield requires an alternate (below ALTERNATE criteria) it requires an alternate. What you are talking about is ADEQUATE criteria, which pertains to ETOPS operations. In that case you are unlikely to use the airfield anyway.
Again, Alternate criteria never changes. If the airfield requires an Alternate, you must carry the fuel for an alternate all the way to landing, if you don't you have a fuel emergency.
