If it's by design an environment which requires you to model
interactively the tool might not qualify for "purist" entries.

well ... not exactly prove ... but try submitting an include file
with a 20,000 vertex mesh as "purist" claiming it's handwritten and
see how voters take to it ;)

Actually, I wouldn't be worried about cheating in the "purist"
category anyway. It's too restricted to plausibly cheat in such a
scope that you have a chance of winning the overall competition, and
winning must be very important to someone who considers cheating.
