That makes sense. Strictly speaking, I suppose truly unassisted should mean no access to the internet at all during the contest. Not even spaceweather.com.

Each contest may have its own interpretation on this.

The CQ WW rules FAQ addresses this exact question.

Q: If I am a Single Operator, can I use the Reverse Beacon Network (RBN) or DX 
Cluster to look for spots of my own callsign?

A: No, this is not permitted. If you do this, you should enter as Single 
Operator Assisted.

So, if I look at my own RBN reports during a contest, am I assisted?
(Not that I've ever done that!)
