I cannot see why the ARRL is "so resistant" to revising the rules to read 
either:

1.  "You may use any CK other than your actual first year licensed"; OR,

2. "If you use any CK other than your actual first year licensed, your log 
will be considered null and void."

This is really a no brainer and all future discussions on this matter can 
be eliminated,  ***IF*** the ARRL takes the requisite action to amend the 
rules and ***ENFORCE*** #2 above if that is the option they roll with.

Another option, of course, is to axe CK from the exchange.
