Yes, UBN is a very strong and convincing tool.
A UBN for RDXC 2001 motivated me to change my (then very good) call VA3UZ to
(not so good) VE3DZ in 2002. :-)
As for "MD" - the best cure IMO would be "Mexico Denmark". A bit long, but
works well on ESL operators (myself included). :-)

The DX even busts Mike Delta as sent by the best stations. By far the most
common bust is MA.
