I would call it an "assumption" rather than a "suspicion". Everybody may have his own opinion. Don't remember if Taki was already in use in the year of Carlo Parisi record. But in general, typers and stenotypers compete all together nowadays. Taki was designed specifically to allow any existing technology to participate in these competitions. Is not that a sign of recognition of the right to any technology? I consider using macros when typing the unfamiliar text as honest as using stenotype. The only question is whether to maintain separate or common ranking lists. In online competitions, rankings are not separated. At present.
