This 'stuck' notion tracks with my anecdata, as I once noticed one of my own hairs switch back from gray to colored. ... Alas, its comrades did not follow its lead.

Yes I do set high standards for myself. And in many cases I think that is appropriate, outside of software. (A good example would be: tiling a shower. If your grout lines aren't straight, you and everyone else will notice.) I do occ
