I think psychologists would have a field day analyzing:

PATIENT NUMBER ONE: those who must show-off their DXing prowess, copying skills etc. by spotting someone else. "Oh Boy", fellas look who I've found and worked, I'm so good, and I worked him before you did. And please forgive me that I busted his call; I'm really not as good as I think I am",

and,

PATIENT NUMBER TWO: who are so incompetent that inwardly they cannot find or copy jack, most probably must rely on PATIENT NUMBER ONE'S, and even if they try to grow-up and be a big-shot PATIENT NUMBER ONE, they never can quite 'cut the mustard', and live with an inferiority complex throughout their DXing and contesting career. Oh they will try and pull their Big Boy Pants on from from time-to-time, maybe even spot EK3LR..........only to be publicly ridiculed by the few thousand who must say, "you idiot, how could you not know K3LR", and further they spiral into depression.

Ah, packet, skimmers, RBN.  Be careful for what you ask.

I have just created a simple tool to create virtual logs and play with busted calls.
Based on CQ WW CW 2012 public logs.

Enter any call and see how many people have it in their logs.

I don't feel sorry for anyone on this. No one should ever be working anyone,
spot or not, unless they actually identify the callsign. It's actually good
the skimmer and packet make bad spots and bust the people using skimmer or
the cluster to copy and log a callsign.
