Yes, but if I'm not mistaken, submitted logs are recalculated by the sponsor
(CQ WW committee in this case) anyway. So why worry about your
logging software's scoring calculation? It's not the final say in the matter.

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] Log what he sends?
The problem I see in this case with "copying what is sent" is that
your software will calculate your claimed score based on the zone
claimed to be worked and will obviously be wrong if you log a zone
someone else is in.
For obvious zones you can tell what zone someone is in, but for
example US, Canadian and Russian stations it might not always be the
case. For example if I operate from California I am zone 3 whereas
software will fill it as zone 5.
I don't usually support this but it is clear that CQWW is a callsign
copying contest and the exchange really doesn't matter. So let your
log software just fill in what is there... I guess.
