Wait... people actually grease it BEFORE checking?

His backup camera shows things closer than they are? What does that even mean, the man is driving blind and blaming the screen for it. Next time someone dents your stuff they'll probably say their GPS told them to turn into your bumper. I'd have asked him if the camera also made him forget how mirrors work, since those have been doing that job just fine for like a hundred years.

My friend Dana got the same note on her thriller, and she killed a 30 page subplot about a hotel maid. Turns out that subplot had the only scene where her lead showed any real fear, and three beta readers later told her they missed it. She ended up cutting pages 15 through 60 but kept 12 pages of the maid stuff and moved it later in the book. Just something to think about before you gut 3 weeks of work over one guy at 2am.
