Just realized I been running my tool offsets wrong for 15 years

I was setting tool heights off the part surface instead of the machine table for basically my whole career. A kid fresh out of trade school pointed it out last week when my Z was off by .003 on a repeat job. Anybody else pick up bad habits early and just roll with em?
