I only agree with this much of what you said.

VE5RA said "If you want to play the ARRL/DXCC game, you play by their
rules...and their interpretation/application of the rules"

My point is that the acceptance of an operation with the
ARRL/DXCC changes frequently.  Regardless of the DXCC rules,
the acceptance/rejection of an operation is subjective IMO
by the DXCC committee.  The ARRL could easily have made an
exception for the Yemen operations as they have done in the
past for other operations.
The rules are bent regularly.  Remember this is just a
hobby.
I have operated from countries where the use of a callsign
had only verbal approval, no documentation.  Yet these
operations were accepted by the ARRL.  What makes the Yemen
operations any different?
If you want to play the ARRL/DXCC game, you play by their
rules...and their interpretation/application of the rules
changes frequently...fact!  I understand that.  The
ARRL/DXCC rule application is not always transparent.  Big
Brother knows best.

7O1YGF never submitted anything to the ARRL DXCC Desk!

7O1A submitted paper work from Aden, not Sana (the capital).

The ARRL DXCC Desk doesn't have a beef with any countries!

The ARRL DXCC program is one of the most sought after
programs by DXers
around the world and holds the highest integrity!
