When the point of a contest is to discover the best at some particular skill, fairness is an essential component of the rules.

While individuals may try to subvert the system for their own advancement, the spirit of competition is to win and win fairly. Winning because a challenger gets disqualified for silly reasons is less desirable than winning, as the saying goes, "fair and square."

If they're not verifiably either, it wouldn't be "fair" to have them compete against either group, would it?

The chance that not being "verifiably" part of either group results in a competitive advantage over both groups is essentially zero.
