While I would agree that a unique is not a reason for busting a call,
I would also agree that most of them are busted. But some possible
reasons otherwise might be:
The person who fires up the rig and just wants to see if it will work.
Doesn't send in a log.
The same person might have worked another who didn't send in a log.
If each of them worked another person who did send a log in , you can
have a couple uniques right there.
That being said, if a log comes down that has a lot of uniques, it
will get some extra scrutiny. Some times you see other Ops local to
the contester, things like that.
