[CQ-Contest] Convergence and Change

[Joe]

Maybe the un assisted ops are just better operators in the first place, 
and do not need help to make bigger scores?

Is there records of great ops that never used assistance, and then 
started using it but changed NOTHING else in the station,  and how and 
did their scores change? or the other way around some high scoring 
assisted stations that go un assisted, do their scores drop?

Too many variables to know if it helps or not unless stations that did 
not suddenly do and visa versa.
