Well, that argument is what was given to me when I put
forth my opinion that any daemon engines ruin the pure CSM strat
rating. And it does make sense. But personally I'm of the
opinion that daemon engines in the army means that the army is
no longer 'pure' CSM, which is what prompted me to put forth some
of the rules on my website (which sadly did not make it into
Dropship #2).
