I disagree.

In the past, I have spent painfully long times completing weak, weak QSOs 
that afterward look like tactical mistakes because if I just called CQ, 
odds are that I could have made 2 or 3 QSOs in the same time period, and 
the weak, weak station I worked might end up being a lot louder in another 
hour anyway.  Learning where that threshold is between workable and "not 
worth it even if I do complete the QSO" is something I've been learning 
with practice.
