I am not sure how this got on Towertalk but the discussion started on
CQ-Contest and should probably continue there as this discussion has
nothing to do with towers or antennas.

... and just *how* is a copy of CW skimmer running on a computer
connected to a receiver in an operator's own shack, not connected
to the outside world 'using a second person for assistance'?
Once you include "computer" in the shack any software running on
that computer - as long as it has on connection to any computer
outside the "station" - is an "enhancement for a single op to
use".

That's the difference.

What was the exact time where it was just a operator and a radio?
1940,
1950, 1960? Was that before keyers, paddles, voice recorders,
computer
logging, 2m spotting nets, telephones to call and make scheds, the mail
system?
I have to wonder if the proponents for backwardness also drive Model A
and Model T cars, use wood stoves and have no indoor plumbing.
The hobby is constantly changing and evolving and we continue to create
new technologies. We don't shun advances in our daily lives we should
we do so in Ham Radio?

My understanding is that the "Classic" overlay was intended as "a

I would just add one point. I've been told that the 1 radio no
spotting
caveats were added because some folks on the CQ Committee were
concerned
that non-assisted hot-shots would drop down to the 24-hour overlay
unless these things were outlawed. I frankly doubt this,
particularly
with respect to the assisted/non-assisted angle. However, instead of
sitting on the sidelines, it is important that supporters of the
24-hour
category enter it this year, so that we can credibly make the
argument
for loosening that restriction next time.
