Actually this is one of the reasons K1TTT et al do all that spot analysis 
after every contest.  It *is* understood to be advantageous, it is accepted 
by most to be in bad form, it can be detected and exposed easily, and as a 
reault nobody engages in it out of peer pressure because they know it makes 
them look like idiots.
