The lead guy at my first machine job laughed when I asked about deburring parts. He said skip it, nobody checks. First batch of 300 shipped to a customer in Fort Wayne came back.

My old mentor told me in 2004 to always write down my offsets, and I finally quit doing it last month

My old lead hand told me in 2011 to always leave 0.010 on the floor for finishing, and I still do it

DAE have a lead hand who counts tools before he trusts a new setup?
