I am not redefining the debate on my own terms as you have done. 
I keep trying to bring the debate back to the traditional frame 
of reference.  "Assisted" is simply a shorthand for defining the 
participation by an additional person or persons in an "operator" 
role who is not actually making the contacts.  Since the term 
first came into use, "assisted" has always meant another person, 
whether on site or remotely, who provided spotting information. 
"Assisted" has never been applied to productivity enhancing 
technology of any description - including those technologies that 
form the basis of skimmer type systems.
