Had a talk with an old machinist about line weights and it wrecked my whole drafting approach

He told me my prints looked 'busy' and showed me how half the lines I was drawing were just noise, then pointed out I could drop from 0.5mm to 0.25mm on hidden lines and suddenly the whole thing read cleaner in under a minute - has anyone else had a veteran drafter call out something obvious you missed?

Wait, isn't thicker hidden lines better for catching your eye?

You caught my eye like that one time I found a penny glued to the sidewalk, @wyatt_fox68.
