Overheard a line cook say something that changed how I season

I was grabbing coffee before my shift yesterday and heard a guy say you should season from your fingers, not the shaker. He said it gives you way more control over where the salt actually lands. Has anyone else tried this or am I overthinking it?

Noticing small details like that totally changes how you approach everything, not just cooking.

Wait, you mean shaking it from up high actually wastes it? I used to think it didn't matter but now I get it.

Man, that's actually smart though. Never thought about how much control you lose with a shaker versus just using your fingers.
