I think the example used by NS3T about his QSO with N4AF isn't indicative of
what goes on in the Sprint.  It is very rare that you could make a 20m Q, get a
reply on 40m for a Q, and then get right back into making another Q on the
previous 20m frequency.  

Besides if you've worked a Q on 20m, shifted focus to 40m and then left the
other radio on the same freq on 20m you're doing SO2R in the Sprint funky (or
at least, not the way I would do it).

SO2R isn't brute force -- it's thinking and strategy.
