Ken,
I made no comment that disagreed with your points.
I would only say that it's permissible to edit previous contacts if done
*during* the contest based on allowable information (i.e. guessing). But
do it at your own risk.

I couldn't find any place in the rules which said you had to send to
same power throughout the contest. Maybe someone can help me with this,.
In any case, there may be good reasons for different powers on
different bands. SWR problems, RFI issues, different amps, whatever.
Besides, I thought we were always supposed to copy what was sent. When
did this advice change?

My experience was the same.
I *corrected* a couple, and later thought better of that strategy. Under
the circumstances, I don't see how the log checkers can be overly picky
about that.
