To me, that's akin to saying there's no time for operating properly, and I 
just don't believe that's the case.

There are dozens of ways even top-performing stations 'lose' a few seconds 
here or there, so saying there's no time to listen first -- something that's 
been part of the amateur code of conduct since there's been amateur radio --  
is just an excuse for poor procedure.

And if there's no time to listen, how do you copy the stations calling you?
