You're totally right that a determined cheater will always find a workaround. I've seen the same thing happen in my own group where someone just refused to accept fair rolls no matter what tool we put in front of them. At some point you have to ask yourself if winning is worth more to that person than the fun of the whole table, right?

Used to roll my eyes at the 'check for animals' advice, thought it was just a meme from the old-timers on here. But after a similar two-hour wild goose chase last fall that turned out to be a squirrel nest in the crawlspace, I'm a full convert now. Your mileage may vary, but that wildlife check just saved you from doing the same dance again in a month.

That rush mindset creeps into so many things, not just bodywork. You skip the small step, think you're saving time, and end up paying for it twice as much later. It's the same reason people throw out their backs rushing to grab something instead of taking two seconds to bend their knees.

Huh, pretty sure CDI actually does make a digital model now though.

Yeah that airport enlightenment hits different. Now I judge everyone's luggage.
