Actually you do, almost total.

Here in Eastern Eu we traditionally have more local contests, where 
incorrect exchange wipes QSO for both partners.

Why you do worry about your callsign received correctly on the other side, 
but not that much about the exchange?

I think this develops very important skills for contesters - you vary the 
manner in which you send the exchange - slow down, repeat, make slightly 
wider pauses between numbers etc etc, both CW and especially SSB, depending 
on:

a) who calls (involving your brain's internal database of contesters' calls, 
knowledge of callsign systems over the world and so on) and how one calls 
you;
b) the band, and band condx - working DX on 160 at the edge of audibility, 
repeating the exchange doesn't sound extravagant, right? But the same 
applies to working novice on 20 with S9+20!
c) presumed QRM level for the receiving station at the given moment (i.e. 
when fighting for the freq etc.)
... and a lot more, this is dynamic, this makes contesting one bit more fun.

I think the rule is very good, and should be implemented in all contests 
that have serial as a part of exchange (or anything else, what's not already 
given to you by the PC beforehand).
