How would it filter out commonly miscopied calls such as LW3LPL and
JH3CTQ (the latter being human error)?

I like the errors.
As a usually-assisted operator, one of my discriminators, just as in
unassisted, is experience. I know A LOT of the calls by heart, I can
do "off-by-one" in my head. I know how strong particular stations and
stations in general should be at any given hour, and who has clix, who
goes slow and who goes fast, and I also know how RBN errors tend to
look in real-time and over time. This allows me to mentally filter
the errors out.
I'd like to continue to see operators have to actually copy the
callsign and exchange to be sure, and to keep their UBN under control
- which goes away with error-free data. I like the errors, they
benefit those who have put in the work and and are willing to copy it
all, when others can't or won't. I also think (or hope?) the errors
encourage others to pick up their game.
With the best of intentions....
