That is true. The unintended consequences of this rule change may be that
the LP,  QRP and wire antenna stations who don't like to S&P will disappear
in frustration. Then the internet CQers will just work other internet
CQers. Finding and working the small stations are what makes the difference
in your score (of that's what motivates you).
