I don't know - there can be a variety of reasons for turning up on or near someone's frequency without realizing it.  One I encounter all the time is that the other station is down off the low-side of my filter response, approaching zero-beat, so his signal is hugely attenuated.  On the higher bands, I may not know that there's another station located 200 miles away who is CQing on the same frequency, until I figure out that some of the stations calling are out of sync.
