[CQ-Contest] WPX misquotes CQWW Rules - not intentionally, I'm sure

I hate to get into the fray, but Terry said:
As an example, the  CQWW contest has always had a rule that the exchange
includes the zone, yet for many years the directors of the CQWW
did not penalize operators for incorrectly reporting the exchange.
Indeed, one of the former directors published an article in CQ Contest
magazine saying that the exchange would not be checked! Yet, in recent 
years
the exchange has been checked and operators penalized for incorrectly
recording the exchange.
Sorry, but CQWW starting just hours, I want to clarify this.  There is 
not "penalty" for a
busted exchange.   The Qso is simply removed.
This may be "technical," but guys love the details.

RULES from CQWW:
E. Log Checking: All logs are checked using custom software and human 
judgment.
     Duplicate contacts are removed with no additional penalty.
     Contacts with an incorrectly received exchange are removed with no 
additional penalty.
