Humans are very much involved in the "final" say with respect to DQing
an entry.  As far as I know, there are no DQs in the SS.  One or two
stations had some interesting things in their log that were investigated
into.  The program generates the data - and the human decides what to
do about it.

There were MANY logs with error rates above the DQ criteria.  This is
why the rules that say things like "Log with error rates above x% WILL
be DQed" need to be changed to "MAY be".
