It is an advantage to the extend that antenna availability/selection
is an advantage.

No we have not "debunked" the beam theory and we have not debunked
the skills theory. Every one of them is a tool ... they cannot be
considered in a vacuum as you insist on doing with SOxR.
> wire antennas can and have beat beam antennas).
Sure ... I would not take an 80 meter beam at 200 feet over a
dipole at 50 feet in Sweepstakes from Ohio but I'd take an 80
meter beam over a dipole in a heartbeat for a DX contest.
Making the right choice is part of the skill that a good operator
learns in a career of contesting.
Again, to dismiss one tool or skill as being an unfair advantage
because you don't like it just plain wrong. SOxR complies completely
with all the rules of the "single operator category" ... if you
want to "limit" the category, limit all hardware "assistance" -
SOxR, gain antennas, etc.
