Here we go again.
The answer to your question has zero relevance on whether they should be
combined.
Do the results show being assisted is a detriment like QRP is a detriment as
compared to low power. If so, it's like me saying that QRP scores don't beat
low power scores so why not combine those categories.
If anyone thinks that SO scores would not be as good if those top operators
used the internet to provide them a list of multipliers to work, they have no
clue. If a survey was taken of those who operate SO in serious fashion the
result would be they don't want them combined.
I have yet to see any logical reason to eliminate the category other than it is
difficult to enforce the rules.
