Yes, that is right. I remember once at P49Y, I had just come on a band and was called by several stations including a 30 over 9 East Coast Multi. I was about to come back to the loud multi when a bit off frequency I could barely copy "JTI". So I came back first to W6JTI, just so I could tell him after the contest that his QRP signal from CA had beaten out a big East Coast Multi in a pile-up.!

Interesting analysis, but I would add another factor to the operator-dependent factors: CW pitch. These days, most of the signals will be zero-beat with a packet-spot frequency. Going slightly off frequency often nabs the QSO.
