The NAQP rules are the same for each contest, regardless of the mode, and I
don't remember, ever seeing anyone needing a clarification for SSB/CW?
IMHO, the rules should be changed, removing the word "spotting" from the SO
category, and adding it to the M/2 category, as it isn't there, thereby
removing all doubt?

IARU rules leave no room for doubt:
4.1. Single Operator:
4.1.2. One person performs all operating and logging functions.
4.1.3. Use of spotting nets or packet is not permitted.

With no mention of "spotting" in the definition, and specifically
prohibiting it, later, what is not to understand?

I believe that the "spirit of the rules" prohibits SO from using
"assistance" in any way! For those of y'all that "delight" in creating a
definition for the word assistance, my reference is directly related to the
use of packet by SO!
