So, although MightyIsis is a bit flummoxed at the idea that there was such a thing as international tournament thumb wrestling in the first place, subsequent research has shown the following.
- There is a lovely program, hosted by thumbs, that depicts thumb wrestling. It seems very WWF-inspired. http://www.thumbwrestlingfederation.com
- There are also some less official-looking pages. http://www.gameskidsplay.net/GAMES/other_games/thumb_wrestling.htm
- Wikipedia's article cites no sources. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumb_wrestling Ok...I know, Hermione Granger would not approve of this as a source...
Suitably chastened, Isis concedes, and clarifies: "stealth thumb is for home use only." However, stealth thumb is not technically "cheating" according to these sites, because it only involves use of the thumb.

After careful consideration and judicious contemplation, I would agree that the so called stealth thumb is not illegal. However, I believe it falls under the category of sportsmanship and fair play. So I would contend that any augmentation of the thumb, however imaginary or physically coated in bacon grease, is suspect.
