Hot take: I keep seeing people skip the grain test on new paper stock

I watched a friend's project warp after a week because the paper grain ran the wrong way for the cover. You have to tear a small piece to check the grain direction before you cut anything. Has anyone else had a project ruined by this?

Honestly, how bad was the warp? I've cut paper wrong before and it's never been a total disaster.

It's the small mistakes that always snowball into the biggest messes. Like one wrong cut and the whole project's off track.
