[CQ-Contest] CQ WW DX Contests

I'm firmly in the log what you heard camp, following K3ZO's wisdom: "As my dear departed and deeply missed mentor W3GRF always said:  "It's a listening contest as well as a sending contest.""But whether that optimizes points depends on how the log checking software and process works.
If the offending station sent Zone 27 and put that in his Cabrillo file, log checking software should not bust anyone entering 27. Anyone who corrected to 14 should get a busted exchange flagged.
If offending station sent 27 but his Cabrillo file showed 14, everyone who logged what they copied would be flagged for a busted exchange, but it would be obvious what had happened. In this scenarios, would the log checking software or any human review see that pattern, and not enforce the penalty?
Maybe someone like Tree N6TR or Randy K5ZD would know but I'll still log what I copy, even in prefill contests like the WWs.
