Why does my lead carpenter still hand-mark every cut after 8 years with a laser?

Met a guy at a job site in Columbus who swore lasers make him slower he said 'my tape and pencil never need a battery' and I told him I trust a chalk line over a digital readout too but is he just stuck in his ways or does he actually have a point about speed on trim work?

Had a 12 year vet run my laser site for a week and he went back to his tape and pencil by Thursday. The laser is only as good as the stop youre using and if youre doing casings and baseboards on uneven walls the digital readout just lies to you. Hes not stuck in his ways, hes just not wasting time fighting a tool that doesnt read the actual surface.
