Um, QSOs aren't removed just because they are unique.  In fact, when I get on
and make only one QSO from my "poor antenna station," I sometimes get an email
from a log checker asking if I made the contact - just to be safe.  The log
checkers ARE bending over backwards.

I believe the ZL?REX example Tom gave to be an extremely rare exception and is
understandable under the circumstances.  Nobody's perfect but everyone is
working very hard to make things as good as possible.
