Would increasing the penalty for busted calls mitigate this problem?

The discussion seems to be pointing to experienced operators, those that 
should know better, engaging in this behavior.

For them it could be the cost of 'doing business', lots of Qs to 
compensate, but if the penalty is increased, the 'economics' of 
contesting changes.

Ok, maybe not on the first busted call, but sounds like the community 
has a pretty good knowledge, after each contest, of the calls that 
generated the most incidents.

Let's say after 3 or 4 of these busted calls, it's not a mistake, but 
careless operating procedure.

For the newbie caught in the net, it's a costly learning experience, but 
as a friend used to say: a good education is not cheap.
