Narrative:

Aircraft Y was in a MOA 500b590. Aircraft X was in a block 490b510 and flew into the airspace that aircraft Y was in. I thought you had to miss the airplane but apparently you have to miss the whole airspace; which can be the whole state of nd. Aircraft Y and aircraft X were 141 miles apart. I think this is ridiculous. Miss just the airplane.
