No, none of that is relevant. The guy in your example applied time, money and
ability to win a contest, so did N6NB, an exact parallel. If N6NB did what he
did but only ended up in tenth place this "discussion" would not be taking
place. It's because he put in a lot of effort that has been resulting in wins
that he is being bashed (under the guise of the rules being the problem ). It's
an old scenario, when a guy pokes his head above the crowd and becomes very
successful, people start lining up to bash him down (just ask Bill Gates).

If you believe that is the logic, then you haven't been listening.
Use of APRS data is not allowed for non-assisted stations. Why?
Self spotting is not allowed. Why?
Use of repeaters is not allowed. Why?
Captive rovers are not allowed. Why?
They are not allowed because they have nothing to do with amateur practices.
They confer unfair advantages based on things outside of radio. The ability to
coordinate the movement of trucks so they can stay within eyesight in order to
maximize scores is not a radio related skill.
Does that make sense?
