Why the resistance to "interleaving"?

Perhaps those with "a life" beyond contesting might be tempted to cobble
together a 24-hour entry around their family or work obligations.

All other things being equal (i.e. operator, antennas, QTH), does anyone really think a 24-hour entry, cobbled together around other obligations, is going to be a serious contender for a top-10 position, vs. a 24-hour entry that the operating time is chosen exclusively for a big score ? Highly unlikely, unless those other obligations take place between 1 AM and 5 AM local time.
