The ARRL Contest Branch only administers the contests,
they do not create the rules.  Contest rules are created
by a subset of the ARRL Board of Directors (those on the
Membership Services Committee).

The scenario you describe would be like asking an FBI 
agent why Congress passed a particular law.  She could 
certainly hold a personal opinion on the subject, of 
course, but would have no official role of representation.
