Reminds of a pro-tip some wizard told me when I was a wee lad in year 1 of my career as a software dev:
Leave some glaringly misplaced or ugly in the UX, the boss/client will ask you to change that and won't nitpick other things that aren't worth the time. A kind of bait if you will for nitpick feedback.

Luckily I caught it early in my career - leave in an easy mistake that is trivial to fix and harms nothing. It 100% works. The nitpicker feels like they won and you don’t waste time watching them spend hours pouring over everything.
