Serious question, why do we all pretend 6010 root passes are fine first try?

I spent 4 years grinding out roots on pipe in Baton Rouge before a old timer watched me struggle and pointed out I was running my rod way too hot. He showed me a 5-10 amp drop and suddenly my starts stopped cratering and my cap looked clean. How many of you actually dial in your machine for each joint instead of just sticking with what feels comfortable?

Every machine reads different. I dial it in every time, saves the headache.

Read somewhere 10-15 degrees hotter rod helps on thick wall.
