Y'see, in my experiences, most audiences don't even notice / care about missed beats or notes *as long as the whole band is happy and smiling* and the vibe is good.

And then there's the essential rule of live music: hit a wrong note? Play it three more times and everyone will think you did it on purpose and you will be a jazz legend.

Because, really, there are no wrong notes / beats. I say this as a non-ironic Shaggs fan.

I'm going to need earplugs all morning.

Off-key amd off-tempo are easy to detect, but no one can tell right away if you are storing their data in an unsecured S3 bucket, not even other IT folks.
