Jukka,
I agree with you that in principle, recording some or all of one's contest
operating, and then reviewing it later, may be of benefit to some, even many,
contesters.
That said, there is a difference between recommending recording, and insisting
on it.
If you want me, as a competitor, to record my operating, then make it
mandatory, write it into the rules, and tell me how it needs to be recorded,
and how long I'd be required to keep it.
And then I will decide whether or not the new rule is onerous enough to keep me
from participating in the contest.
I simply dislike, in principle, a rule that implied something that was not
explicitly required, and threatened penalties for not having something (the
recording) that no where else am I explicitly required to have it. This can
cause many more problems that it could possibly cure.
And shouldn't the goal of anyone rewriting or updating the rules be to make
them as clear and concise as possible, to avoid the "gray areas" and loopholes?
73, ron w3wn

About recordings:
I have found the recordings invaluable when improving my operator skills.
There is no other tool that I can compare, that would have provided to my
copying skills to achieve a constant performance level of less than 1% of
call copying errors per contest I enter.
The method is to learn from contacts I have to ask for repeats and when I
get the log checking report, I review (re-listen) some QSOs I have been
getting notifications.
I suggest people to learn better operating.
Recording the contest or some part of the contest and then learning later
on, after the log submission.
And - anyone of You participants, may get an opportunity to provide
something extra to log checking.
That extra could be a recording if You happen to have one and are asked for
a recording.
I strongly suggest and hope many will record the next contests they enter
and then learn from the recording.
73,
Jukka OH6LI.
