"Both stations should log the QSO when RR73 is sent.  At that point in the message sequence both QSO partners have exchanged call signs, reports and acknowledgements (R -04 and RR73).  No further messages need to be exchanged."

The flaw in this argument is that transmission of RR73 does not ensure reception of RR73. "Exchanged" requires both transmission and reception,

Hi Andy,

the requirement usually is that both operators are assured that they have completed the QSO. A rapid QSO followed by the other station calling CQ or calling another station straight away is often all that is needed to be sure that an RR73 message has been successfully decoded and the QSO logged at the other end.
