Yes indeed, and besides, when you really setup your stuff well enough, there's no need to start digitally altering your photo. Just taking away some minor faults is not an issue - you can't expect people to make the perfect shot and always keep it 100% free of dust and/or scratches. You're not going to do another day of shooting for something that you can take away with Photoshop. But I could understand why they wouldn't post work that's only based on photos, but in a way is digital art...not photography. Photography Technik (german magazine) is really wasted by all this kind of stuff - usually work for advertising. The style just isn't good enough....it shows, cause it just isn't the same as seeing an original print of a portrait shot by Anton Corbijn or a huge enlarged original print featuring one of Adam Ansel's super sharp landscapes. It just isn't the same thing.
