Not so quick.

What you are saying is that if we type it in the computer, we have to
keep it?

What about the obvious conundrum, bandied about considerably, that
unless we KNOW it's a QSO, we're not supposed to log it. We are talking
about a contact you claim in other email is NOTa QSO in any sense under
the rules.

You can't have both of these in the same logical rule space.
