What innocent people are being unjustly accused of what?

Who are you talking about / defending?

Or, is all of this pure speculation without any basis in fact?

Yes Paul, criticism of public logs will continue.  And the innocent will be
unjustly accused and forced unfairly to defend themselves.

The end result?  Contesters will begin to wonder if it's worth the
aggravation.

Are we trying to promote contesting, or chase contesters away?

"More people" may be a red herring.  CQ already has
software that provides every entrant with a detailed
UBN report.

The same QSO database, together with the corresponding
spots data, can be used to identify entrants who, based
on averages and other parameters yet to be agreed, "bend"
the rules.

Public logs provide ammunition for anyone who, rightly
or wrongly, believes the logs identify some cheaters.
Criticism of individual logs will continue unless
contest sponsors are seen to make reasonable eforts
to enforce all their own rules.
