Then if the "top 3 rule" is not about you what all of the noise is
about?
The top 3 conteders take it very seriously. Here's WC1M's quote on
DXCC and strictness of LOTW registration, IMO it fits perfectly the
topic, top 3 contenders care about accuracy of the contest results as
you care about the money :)
"The Honor Roll listings continue to be sorted by deleted countries
because there would be a gigantic outcry if only current countries
were used (resulting in no "first place".) Past attempts to defraud
DXCC (e.g., Don Miller, Romeo, etc.) have resulted in cries for blood.
It's not a stretch to say that some hams care as much about the
integrity of DXCC as they care about money (well, almost... ;-)"
