No, this is not right. If you copied the other guy's exchange
correctly, then you get full credit for the QSO. If he messed up,
he'll lose the contact, plus he may face penalty QSOs as well.
Unless RTTY contests are somehow scored entirely differently from CW
and Phone contests, you can't lose a QSO if the other guy busts the
exchange. (Except if the completely blows your callsign so bad that
the log-checking software can't match your QSO and the judge's can't
find it either...)
