That's not true. 

The log checking process will accomodate a station changing a static portion
of the exchange in one of two ways (depending on the contest): (a) cross-
checking with the exact log data that was sent, or (b) identifying that
station's log as "unstable" and excluding it from cross-checking with
other logs.  In either case, the other stations are generally not going
to be penalized when someone they work send a different exchange later on
in the contest.
