In CQ WW how could you know if the other guy copied your call correct or not. I have yet to catch N1MM logger not sending W0MU during the contest.

If Callsigns were part of the exchange then  K3FIV might have a point.

The fact that you don't consider that to be a penalty gives me some insight into the reasoning process behind your proposal.

It also seems to have escaped you that there are elements to logging a QSO that go beyond the exchange of information. The guy on the other end could have copied my callsign perfectly ... even sent it back to me with his report ... and still log it incorrectly without me having the slightest opportunity to do anything about it.

If the concept of a penalty is unpalatable, it's still possible to use the scoring mechanism to reward completion of exchanges. E.G., You only get
credit for a Q if you copied the other guy's transmission completely and
accurately, AND he similarly copied yours.   Only then is the exchange
complete.
