@Mike I understand your perspective. There are tools to use to help in solving - so you can turn on Autocheck, the feature that tells you if your answer is correct. And if you really get stuck on a clue - particularly names - then "cheat" and put the answer in. Of course, this is not possible in crossword tournaments - but a Sunday puzzle should still be FUN to solve - so adjust accordingly! (And old-timer here who's been there and done that.)
