This is the "I'm special" argument.  Because I don't
have the will or the means to set the correct time,
I can bend the rules to suit my circumstances.

All competitive hobbies have rules.  We do not have
the right to claim credit for QSOs completed (logged)
after the end of the contest, even when the QSO was
started before the finishing time.
