I think the logic comes into focus when you see a pattern of behavior over 
a number of QSOs where the average time from when a spot appears until it
appears in the log is significantly different than other non-assisted logs.  

There are other indicators - like what is the frequency profile of the 
QSOs.  For example, if the frequencies are jumping around instead of 
monotonic - it could be an indicator that something is up.

Of course, when a busted callsign appears on packet AND your log around the
same time, that is a strong indicator of a problem.

None of these are proof positive, but statisics help give an insight into
logs that look suspicious.
