Remember when we all used to mud with just a 6-inch knife? Had a ceiling in a Phoenix split-level that proved that wrong.

Right? It's like your brain just rounds everything to "close enough" until you get a rude awakening. I've noticed people do that with all sorts of measurements, not just ceilings.

Hang on, ceiling in a Phoenix split-level? Like you hit your head on mud or the ceiling was actually lower than you thought?

That six inch measurement is standard across trades, the mud work was probably fine and his tape was off.
