Now do I understand why someone might do that, out of sheer embarrassment? Yes, but I'm not condoning it. I can tell you that in the few instances where something has gone wrong at my bench, I am as upset as anyone, and having a conversation with someone about it isn't easy, nor should it be. Having had those conversations before, even just a couple, is a strong driver not to have to have them again.
