Hämmentävää, että jopa laaja-alaista eurooppalaista näkemystä ymmärtävien suomalaistenkin kilpailijoiden keskuudessa esiintyy edes mikrosekunnin ajan tekopyhäamerikkalainen ajatus siitä, että assisted- ja classic-luokat pitäisi yhdistää siksi, että ei enää jakseta metsästää huijareita.
Nehän pitää yhdistää siksi, että koko jako assisted- ja classic-luokkiin on ollut lähtökohtaisesti täysin aivovammainen jo reilusti viime vuosituhannen puolella. Itse asiassa jo ennen koko säännön synnyttämistä.
Ja kyseisen säännön noudattamisen valvominen ei suinkaan ole koskaan ollut radiokilpailutoimintaa ja sen moraalia edistävää toimintaa. Vaan täysin päinvastoin, koko säännön valvominen on ollut haitallista toimintaa, josta pitäisi rangaista. Valvojaa. Sillä monikaan asia ei yhtä tehokkaasti rapauta moraalia tehokkaasti kuin järjettömän säännön täytäntöönpano.
Vähän sama juttu, kuin orjien palauttaminen omistajilleen, jos sallitte vertauksen.
