How about, in this-contest-which-looks-like-a-contest-but-isn't-a-contest, we
set up a new space called "Rogues Corner" where Amateur Radio guys (remember
them) could try wild and crazy crap that would get them a lifetime DQ in the
Professional Contesting Circuit?

The rule as quoted does specifically refer to two operators using two
transmitters, so it does not rule out SO2R.
Besides, if all someone is interested in is getting on and operating, the only
rules that matter are the laws of that person's country. The presence of any
operating event, be it Field Day or WW, only imposes rules upon those who enter
by submitting logs.
And since the results of Field Day depend on more than maximizing QSOs (you get
points for publicity, for satellite contacts, for operating a GOTA station, for
copying the special FD bulletin, etc.), it really is just about operating,
promoting ham radio and fostering goodwill.
Perhaps we could get back to the "goodwill" part?
