Faced a wrong call from my scanner today, now debating gut feeling versus machine data. What do you guys think?

Something people forget is how much the environment can mess with a scanner. A dusty lens or weird lighting can throw off the data before it even processes. That might be what your gut noticed without you knowing why. Angelap56 is right to double-check the physical thing, but also check the physical space where you scanned it. The machine might be fine, but the conditions weren't.

Verify scanner data with physical inspection when possible. Machines can glitch or have outdated calibration. Your gut might pick up on subtle cues the scanner misses. I learned this after a misread caused a small delay in my work.
