If we are doing things just to "save our legs" then we need to not change something. Maybe not work as many meaningless games for money or not trying to work several games in a day. Or we could step away from the table and eat all those bad foods and exercise a little more.

The bottom line passing information leads to misinformation. And if you have ever been in a situation like I have where that information was not properly passed and a team uses the wrong timeout they wanted. That might create a bigger problem then trying to save a step or two.
