Bob N6TV already pointed you out to the "merge" part of the manual.

The QSO numbers can be a bit different because the synchronization 
algorithm does not care about what is logged in a QSO.

Imagine the following situation:

10m/RUN log and validate F4MZN. This QSO is distributed to the other 
stations of the LAN.

Then, the operator realize that the callsign is indeed F5MZN. The op 
modifies the logged call to F5MZN and validate. If, for some reason, 
some stations don't receive that modification through the network, those 
stations will claim to have one Q more than the other.

For this reason, it is still necessary to merge the logs after the 
contest, in order to detect "potential conflicts" between the logs. 
During the merge process, WT will detect such conflicts between the logs.

Hope this clarifies a bit.
