I too have heard such comments. My fervent hope is that someday someone will write a piece of SDR software that quantifies such things by callsign during a contest, and then posts the results to a web site afterward. I'm pretty certain that it's technically feasible right now to do so, at least for CW. Isolate a callsign just like CW Skimmer does when decoding text, and then look for surrounding bursts of spectral energy that track the main signal.
