DAE remember when a line cook telling me to taste my sauce with a clean spoon in 2019 actually fixed my whole habit?

Honestly I used to taste with the same spoon I was stirring with, and a guy named Marco on the line in Cleveland just said 'clean spoon, every time, that's the rule' and walked off. I switched that night and my seasoning got way more even because I was actually tasting the sauce and not leftover bits. Now I keep a cup of clean spoons on my station, has anyone else had a cook break a habit with one blunt sentence?
