The point of the SST and MST contests is to provide newer cw ops with a contest training environment where the exchange is simple and new ops can practice sending and receiving and other basic operations like dupe checking in a friendly and mostly unhurried environment. Diving into SS CW when you are not prepared and then calling a good op who is capable of over 1000 contacts elitist seems a bit childish, like a driver with a new license calling Indy 500 drivers elitist.
