My personal take on this is in the third paragraph of my QRZ bio. I'll add that
I need just two entities to be on the top of the Honor Roll; the "should not be
an entity" Mt. Athos and Glorioso. I doubt that I will work these in this lifetime.

Do you know how many DX entities I have worked or confirmed? If you knew would
you care? Does the fact that that I may have worked some DX using other
stations make less DX available for you to work?
I regard my DX count as a personal achievement. I choose to work all my DX from
"my" station but it's a very long time since I could claim that I built
everything in my station and even then I didn't fabricate the bottles, resistors and
capacitors. Most of those came from equipment I had cannibalized.
I have a good friend who will happily go to a good station in town to work
Bouvet if it is ever activated again. If he works Bouvet good luck to him. I
don't want to work Bouvet unless it is from my station. That's my choice and
it doesn't impact anyone else.
I don't care what station anyone else operates. I do care if they operate a
remote station and declare that they are somewhere else. Those lies do impact
me if I'm gullible enough to a attempt a QSO.
