[CQ-Contest] No advantage to assisted?

[Ktfrog007--- via CQ-Contest]

How widespread is this practice?  Everyone talks about it but I've  never 
heard any statistics.
 
Given human nature, I assume the worst, too, but some real data would be  
better.
 
Everyone talks about alien abductions, too.

If it  wasn't an advantage, why would  so many guys 
use it and then claim  single op  unassisted?
