I had an American friend who lived in Germany for many years who had a similar approach to dealing with immigration officials. He learned quickly that no matter how thorough he was when applying to extend his stay, his packet would always be "missing" some form. So he started leaving a few forms out of his packet, that way what they asked for was something he already had.

Ooh, you know it seems like you could use that method to misdirect the official from noticing a forged document. In fact in open source I can imagine a strategy to get an underhanded bug accepted by pairing it with an obvious, trivial bug. The obvious one gets caught and submitter apologizes and resubmits. Then the dev merges the underhanded bug, comforted that a fairly common iteration cycle has been completed with a newbie.
