Everyone with any common sense knows what "single op" and "unasissted"
mean. There are only a very few ops who want to receive assistance and
still claim to be single operator unassisted class. I don't think
those folks can be reasoned with. Instead of operating with the spirit
and intent of the rules, they are constantly looking to redefine words
and phrases to suit their own desires. 

As the Red Queen said to Alice in "Through the Looking Glass", "A word
means exactically what I want it to mean". And that is their motto.
