Read a study once that said speeding up shows messes with how your brain stores stuff, so it makes sense he forgets. Your brain needs those pauses and slower moments to really lock in what happened. Dude is basically deleting the endings before they even stick.

Oh man, 45 minutes is way too long for most pours. The real tell is when the bleed water sheen goes away and the surface stops looking wet, not some set clock time. If you wait 45 minutes when it's hot and windy out, you're gonna be floating crust over mush underneath.

Man, this is the same deal as when I quit doing math in my head and just started trusting my phone calculator. Is the machine right or is it just faster? I have seen a GPR miss a whole pit because the soil was too wet and I have seen a wall profile trick me because of a rodent hole. You end up leaning on whatever gives you the answer fastest and then you stop learning the thing that actually teaches you. My grandma trusted her recipe cards over a scale every single time and her biscuits never lied once.
