You get a popular callsign being deluged by DXers and until you are 'in the clear' while the other callers pause, it is hard to get callsigns and reports and numbers across accurately. Crowded frequencies don't help either.
The '5 by 9' is a fairly standard contest exchange as it takes too long to gaze at the S-meter then translate that into a signal report whilst paying more attention to the on-screen logging to make sure you are uttering the correct sequential number after it. When your logging rate is 3-4 per minute, there is no time to waste...
That 59-effect happens even during VK-based VHF/UHF contests, RD, JMMFD etc, let alone the international CQ WPX SSB on this weekend.
