[CQ-Contest] Opinion: SO-unassisted should not be using CW Skimmer

[David Gilbert]

I'm confused regarding the point here.  In what major contest is the use 
of CW Skimmer allowed for unassisted categories (other than in Blind 
Mode)?  Isn't all of that already covered in the rules?  Kind of like it 
not being legal to have three people rotating through the chair while 
claiming single op.  Or not being able to run a KW while claiming QRP.  
Did I miss something?
