John, I call what you said the "law of constant argument". People try to 
modify or clarify some document (like contest rules) to avoid arguments 
with the goal of making sure every thing's clear. But what really 
happens? People just argue about the finer points.
Opening up the logs will simple provide 10X more detail to ague about.
Since this whole debate is _really_ driven by the fact that winners and 
losers exist, _nothing_ will stop some losers from complaining about 
"the unfairness of it all".

We already have the rover witchhunts going on because someone won a contest in a way other than some hams think they should have operated (but not in violation of the rules).  Open logs will just encourage more of this.
