NOT AT ALL.. You actually VERIFY the call. (N4KG)

THAT IS OBVIOUS. (N4KG)

Consider the following example.
CT1BOH asks HC8N to QSY to 1825 for a new
multiplier in the CQ WW DX Contest.
You go to 1825 and hear a faint CW signal.
Since you KNEW the frequency, you are able
to FIND the weak signal. Since you KNOW
the CALL, you are able to verify that, YES, it is HC8N.
AND, since you KNOW the exchange, you verify
the report as 59910.
IS THAT ALSO CHEATING?
It would seem to be the case by your definition.
