I think you may be overlooking the first part of your quote.

How can you tell? Oh that's right, you can "trust" a cacher. So why have logs books in normal caches?
umm.. because, unlike an event cache, you (the owner) are probably not at the cache to see if the logger was there?

At my events I get around and talk to everyone that attends, I'd have a fair idea if someone wasn't there.

Although I'm not much of an event goer, I'd prefer to do a CITO.
I agree, as long as the CITO is a true CITO not just someone pulling the rubbish out of their car to bag up and bring to their event. The CITO's in the past that have primarily been held to give people another icon and not really provide any benefit to the community are the ones that I have a problem with.

They certainly shouldn't be used to clean up your own mess after a Geocaching event IMHO. Groundspeak have said the same in the case.
