I don't think you should be so quick to pass judgment on that, Hans.
Some contests have begun to include some of the items mentioned by Jorge
in their definition of assistance. I don't remember which contests off
the top of my head, but I was reading about one of them just a few weeks
ago. I'm sure someone here will remember which one. I believe that
help with fixing the rig or amp was considered assistance, running out
to the antennas to change tuning or switch direction was considered
assistance, etc.
