Because the entries you lose will be overwhelmingly from beginners.

Last year I proposed a middle way: that paper logs should still be 
listed in the main table, but should not be given a numbered place 
because the scores cannot be checked as thoroughly as electronic logs 
now can.

That seems to offer the best of all worlds: it doesn't discourage 
beginners; it gives them a gentle reminder; and it isn't unfair to other 
entrants whose electronic logs have been more thoroughly checked.
