Since you are on the subject of "assisted" or not... What about these
partial call data bases?  Some of us copy the whole call and ask for a
repeat (or two) if needed.  Would using a partial call database or a
database from last year's contest to fill in the exchange constitute getting
assistance?
---------------------------

Super Check Partial is a technology that has been around for quite a while.  To my knowledge, no adjudicator to-date has ruled this to be worthy of reclassification.

Interestingly, it appears to fit one definition that has been bouncing around on this list: having information provided by others that you would otherwise not have yourself.

By the way...accuracy of the super-natural information is not the issue...acting on it *is* the issue (in my unofficial opinion).
