Debate: Do we rely too much on factory wiring diagrams or should grease pencil marks take priority?
Talking to a senior mechanic at a layover in Tulsa last Tuesday, he said he strips every wire himself and never trusts the prints because production line errors are too common, but I've always sworn by the diagrams to save time on troubleshooting a 767 galley panel and now I'm second-guessing my whole process has anyone else run into that call where the schematic contradicted the actual harness?

Learned that lesson the hard way on a 737, now I always double check both.

Man I feel like every time I say "yeah I got it" my brain immediately goes "no you don't, check again." My checklists now have checklists.
