Here we go again.

The answer to your question has zero relevance on whether they should be 
combined. 

Do the results show  being assisted is a detriment like QRP is a detriment as 
compared to low power. If so, it's like me saying that QRP scores don't beat 
low power scores so why not combine those categories.  

If anyone thinks that SO scores would not be as good if those top operators 
used the internet to provide them a list of multipliers to work, they have no 
clue.  If a survey was taken of those who operate SO in serious fashion the 
result would be they don't want them combined.

I have yet to see any logical reason to eliminate the category other than it is 
difficult to enforce the rules.
