HMMMMMMM. I wonder where K4XS is located?
N2IC is located just 60.66 miles from AZ and Zone 3; the FAR, FAR west
of Zone 4, and only 320.46 miles from the nearest waters of the
Pacific Ocean (Gulf of California).
If K4XS is in Florida, as his QRZ address says he is, then his station
is ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED and FORTY miles to the east of N2IC, in
the eastern southeastern portion of Zone 3.
I find this 'comparison' to NOT be a good comparison. YMMV.

Do you run the risk of having participation certificates when there
are too
many categories ?
Does that really find the best contesters ? Personally I don't like
cluster
use (old school) but if the rules to qualify are such then maybe I
need to
re-address my stance if I want to qualify.
I still find it odd in many years I cannot recall an assisted score
beating
unassisted in a major contest. (CQWW CQWPX)

Putting this usually endless and useless assisted/unassisted and
single-op/multi-op discussion behind for now,
If they're so useless, why then does CQ recognise the value of having
separate categories. It's worth taking a look at
http://www.cqww.com/raw.htm?mode=cw - showing the calculated raw
scores for
CQWW CW 2014.
There are 46 categories listed, and that's without including the Classic
and
Rookie sub-categories. Is anyone complaining?
There are many reasons why CQWW is the world's most popular contest, and
the
number of categories is one of them.
This "useless discussion" is unlikely to go away, and it would be
helpful
if
the WRTC2018 Committee members reconsidered their unanimous decision to
eliminate unassisted categories.
They might all be mistaken.
