I agree with both of you. If you want to use (and brag about) modes where you
(your computer) work signals inaudible to human beings then you should not
complain when those same human beings don't know your computer is using the
frequency.

I've made a lot of QSOs using the WSJT modes, but I wouldn't dream of doing so
when a contest is occupying the same space. The same is true of CW or SSB on
contesting bands during a contest. We hams have a lot of spectrum, but none of
us owns any frequency, either individually or as a group. Contest organizers
intentionally avoid the WARC bands, and RTTY contesting intentionally avoids
160M. Someone who wants to work JT65 or PSK31 on HF during a RTTY contest can
QSY to 160M, 30M, 17M, or 12M. So can CW operators. At least one of these
bands will usually be open enough to have fun.
