You can make all sorts of rules about what's not allowed to happen, but often those things happen.
I'm just ... astonished if they've got a little practice room somewhere in their factory where they give each of their new rockets a nut to process... "Okay kid here's your graduation test!". A "we need screens to cope with big things and filters to deal with small things" is probably smart for any anything that's going to be reused.
A nut's probably in some ways easier to deal with than a blob of wd40 (in your lox tank).

That's what their McGreggor test site in Texas is for. It's a long, boring, two hour drive from anywhere or anything.
