You forgot a big one, Dick. We cheated by using technology to fly to the
Moon. We should have used wooden boats and sails.

Right.  While we're at it, we should ban those pesky memory keyers, it makes
redundant the important contesting skill of manually operating a Morse key.

And while we're at it, get rid of those pesky computer logging programs, it
makes redundant the important contesting skill of writing legibly and
maintaining a dupe sheet in real time.

And those durned microcontroller computers that are essential to every
modern transceiver should also be banned. No software power, just people
skills.
