Ever think about how boring, repetitive tasks mess with your focus? Doing offsets by hand every time can lead to tiny mistakes when your brain checks out. A probe gives a second set of eyes that never gets tired. It's not about replacing skill, but about backing it up with steady data. That consistency saves more time and money than waiting for a human error to crash a part.

No kidding! A friend of mine let his kid add a sprinkle of copper carbonate to a standard glaze, you know, just for fun. It was supposed to be a disaster. But it came out with these wild, web-like green streaks that he now can't even reproduce on purpose (which drives him nuts, honestly). He still uses that piece as a vase because the "mistake" is the best part. Sometimes the happy accidents really stick with you.
