I doubt that's why. There are already tons of OOC variables involved in most MUDs, from requirements that you speak an OOC language (English) to requirements that you invest a ton of OOC time, etc. If there's any opportunity for expression of player skill, there's an OOC element involved there as well.
I wouldn't check it because I don't care for the wording and because I dislike the motives behind it. I'd imagine lots of people would feel the same way about checkboxes for "mud administration headed by amateur mud developers" and "mud administration headed by professional mud developers."
