My buddy wasted a whole day on a ceiling nobody sees.

Maybe your buddy just needed to know it was done right for himself. Some people get peace of mind from the details, even hidden ones.

Watch a new guy spend an hour on a closet floor that gets covered by a shoe rack. The customer won't see it, but his time is gone. I learned to ask myself if a flaw will be seen from standing height in normal light. If not, keep moving. Save that extra care for the front entryway or the living room wall everyone looks at.
