I asked Scot in a follow-up letter. Scot and I have
corresponded for years. Please feel free to verify
this if you wish.

It basically violates the principle that signals be easily detectable and
decodeable without prior knowledge of the structure. In my view spread
spectrum techniques will never be used for a pilot signal, but only after
instructions have been sent and enough time to construct the decoder has
been allowed.

I don't see how this increases signal energy.
