My assumption was that the judges would recognize that, for example, a
contact with a station sending the wrong zone could not possibly be
valid, even if I logged exactly what s/he sent. Perhaps I'm wrong about
that. However, that would require the log checking software to check
against the zone sent, not the actual zone. Perhaps it does, as I
suppose that wouldn't be any more difficult than checking serial
numbers. Perhaps someone can enlighten us. What happens if a station
sends in a CQWW log but the sent ITU zone for every QSO? Meanwhile,
I'll keep deleting those QSO's.

Why would it be a guaranteed penalty? You logged what was sent by the
other station. That's what the rules say to do!

In case an obviously incorrect or impossible exchange, it seems to
me the sensible thing is to delete the QSO. Otherwise, it's a
guaranteed penalty for me, as opposed to a NIL for the other operator.
