Open question to Stars about real-time adviser apps

[jukofyork]

Why do Stars allow the use of real-time ICM calculators in SNGs, yet are so against data-mining? There has already been a tool around for quite a while that does this and now an even more advanced tool has been created (see this thread) and I can only foresee them getting better and better in the future.

It's one thing to say that "they make the rules" and you have to follow them, but who is deciding upon these rules in the first place? I don't play at Stars, but I'd like to know once and for all their policy on things like this:

Q) If I create a poker tool which tells me information (with a high degree of accuracy) such as "The EV of pressing call is $2.31 and the EV of pressing raise is $4.28", am I allowed to use this on Stars so long as I press the buttons it tells me too?

If the answer is yes, then I'm just glad I don't play at Stars and if the answer if no, then why are real-time ICM calculators allowed?
