Ugh, my old "measure twice" skepticism.

My dad's version of that was always "cut once, cry once." He built a deck where the stairs were off by a full step. We had to walk up this weird little hop to get onto it for years. He refused to fix it out of pure stubborn pride.

My cousin once measured a whole door wrong, same "measure twice" vibe.
