Bart follows the SOP, but Bart also reserves the right to make common sense intepretation of the SOP which may vary from the way other leads and supervisors interpret the SOP.
It's been a successful recipe for me throughout my life. Why fix it if it ain't broken?
Are you certain it's been successful? Somehow, I don't quite get that it has been.
