I think you finally hit the nail on the head!? Being good at SO2R means you 
have spent a LOT of time with your radio(s) getting to that point - something 
that a "single radio contester just getting started" has NOT done.? In that 
time, you have also made improvements to your station, become better at 
"reading" the bands based on how they sound, understand what the greyline 
means, and a thousand other tricks that seem to never get written down and only 
come from experience.? 

SO2R is NOT for everyone, and its not a requirement to do well.? Just "one more 
tool for those that can use it".
