I agree with George on the "ask for repeat" point - if more people did that,
then fewer would bust my state as MD when I was operating remotely from VA.
Prefills are not always correct, so if I copy unusual info I do try to get
fills. That will catch the one-off sending or copying error, not the logging
software having the wrong info in it.
But, as far as logging information that is correct, if I get a repeat on an
obviously unusual value, what is correct is what was sent. For all I know, some
6 land call is operating a station in Maine - in many cases, you don't know
what is correct, you only know what was sent.
One obvious example is the IARU contest where a lot of casual ops send CQ
Zones, not IARU zones. They will often repeat the CQ zone when asked for a
fill.
This is a good issue for contest sponsors to be more explicit about - kinda
like log dupes or not used to be a question.

Think about it for a minute.
If the contest exchange were signal reports and states would you sill
log a 6 if that is what someone sends you instead of trying to get
their state in the log?
