This i exactly where I feel the penalty is a good thing,
Copy what is sent, and log what is sent.
Copy it wrong, and you get dinged for not being a better operator. Slow
down and be sure you got it right, ask for repeats etc. Eventually your
skill as an operator will improve and you will copy it correctly.
Another good reason for the penalty for busted calls is this below..
From Steef PA3S (PA33A)
This weekend I participated the WPX with a special call sing.
And that was a big mistake.
Because the skimmers don't know the call, they spotted me with a wrong call
more times than you can believe.
So there will be a lot of stations who logged me wrong.
Also I operate assisted, and usage the RBN to work multi's.
Bud this is also proved to be impossible.
Time and time and time, the spot was nos the station calling.
When you realize that there are plenty of opp's that don't even know CW,
there must be a million busted QSO's in the logs.
==============
That alone is a good enough reason for the penalty for busted calls, did not
get the call right? get penalized for it.

Just carrying your argument to it's logical extreme.
If incorrectly recording a call sign is a violation of the contest rules
(you assert that it is so) then XIII of the rules state that such violation
makes me subject to a red or yellow card or other penalty.
How many cobbled Q's in a log would rise to the level of "demonstrated
pattern of misconduct"?

*Violation of a contest rule makes the entrant subject to a red, a yellow
card, a warning letter or log rejection at the discretion of the CQ WW CC
(rule III.14 always applies).*

What on earth is with you?? You don't get red/yellow cards for
unintentional errors ... you lose points for them. You get red/yellow
cards for demonstrated patterns of misconduct.
I'm beginning to grasp the child aspect of your signature, though.

Wow! There will be a lot of red and yellow cards issued to all those
people who copied my call incorrectly! Or maybe not. Maybe I sent it
wrong, sort of an entrapment trick like not sending the same SS check as I
did in 1983.
Sunnuvagun!

Potential Red Card Recipient for a mis-copied call sign

From the CQWW rules:
XII.2. All sent and received exchanges are to be logged. In addition to
the number exchange, the call sign sent by an entrant during a completed
exchange, must be logged *as sent by the entrant*. All QSO exchanges
must be logged upon QSO completion. AB7E Note: The words "as sent by
the entrant" are in italics for emphasis in the original text.
So yeah, logging an incorrect callsign or exchange ... no matter what the
reason ... is indeed a contest rules violation, at least for those events.
