It's probably somewhat unrealistic to suggest that a 19 handicapper play in the scratch flight. Adding the additional flight makes more sense. If I was a 19 and saw that my net flight was 19 and up, I would expect that unless I play my butt off, someone from the top end could easily beat me.

My point wasn't in reference to winning, at all.

My point is, if you're going into a tournament with a handicap, that's the way it goes. People who are 30 handicaps probably have a better chance of winning sure, but so too does the 10 vs the 1 in a flight that has handicaps 1-10 in it. Just because some dude is a 36 doesn't mean they don't earn the right to play in a flighted, handicap tournament.
