or customers.

it works everywhere, even on me

I use it with customers, to hide something I haven't quite figured out yet or know will result in a lengthy conversation that's been had a dozen times before with no change in outcome

my team knows that there's only so much time for review, so if they put dumb things to catch in reviews of their work, they can slip larger things by the quality review process. they also understand that that's on them — if there's so much wrong with something that it would simply take too long to point it all out, the problem is with their work, not with the reviewer.

only somewhat related, but shout out to the guy who would repeatedly make the same mistakes on drawings over and over again. he would put up a review package of 100 drawings, the common mistake would be noted explicitly on the first couple, and then on the 3rd the note would read "applies to all subsequent drawings". that guy would then only fix the ones that were explicitly called out. either a complete dumbass or lack of giving a shit, I don't know which. I've probably worked with both.
