Liam being so young, if we don’t rotate correctly, he’ll have saturation/occlusion issues before he’s even a teenager. We don’t want to set him up for failure. The ability to look back on specific situations (i.e…when did we receive our last POD failure/error?) Without logs, we wouldn’t know this …
