Default QSX 14027.59

Can someone enlighten me about the purpose of spotting a DX-station's
'precise' QSX?

DX de UA0BA: 14026.0 OJ0J QSX 14027.23 1047Z
DX de DM2CUG: 18073.1 OJ0J uufb up 1 1047Z
DX de UA0BA: 18073.1 OJ0J QSX 18074.40 1050Z
DX de EA5FID: 14026.0 OJ0J QSX 14027.26 1050Z
DX de W1RM: 14024.3 RW3DTB/0 QSX 14026.20 1050Z
DX de N8DJX: 18073.0 OJ0J UP 1 1050Z
DX de EA5FID: 18073.0 OJ0J QSX 18075.07 1053Z
DX de T96Q: 18073.0 OJ0J QSX 18075.1 1055Z

That's eight spots in eight minutes and six of them want to make us believe
that the DX-operator has finetuned his RX to ignore anything 10 Hz up or
down the purported QSX.

And most of these spots are plain wrong because these days the concept of
zero-beat is less important than the last 2 digits of a transceiver's
readout.

I'd like my DXing without spoonfeeding, thank you.
