My aunt's comment about my grill marks made me ditch the timer

She said 'you're cooking by the clock, not by the fire' after watching me flip steaks at 8 minutes, so I switched to touching them and eyeballing the color, and now I'm wondering if anyone else has tossed their timing charts since a family member called them out.

Test it on something cheap first. Did you actually learn to read the doneness through the meat's feel, or are you just guessing now and getting lucky? Because if you cant tell a medium rare from a raw center by touch, then chucking the timer might just be swapping one crutch for another. Thats the real question here, did your aunt's comment push you to build a real skill, or just make you less consistent?
