PSA: Hit 100 drywall screws in one square foot and it blew my mind

I was patching a hole in my living room last weekend and got curious how many screws I actually put in. Grabbed my phone and counted 104 screws in a single square foot around a ceiling crack. No joke. I was so focused on making sure nothing budged that I went way overboard. Now I'm wondering how many of those are just stress points waiting to crack later. A buddy who works in framing said anything over 20 per square foot is overkill and can actually weaken the board. Has anyone else done this and found a bunch of extra screws in their work?
