Why do people keep forgetting to account for tool nose radius in their offsets?

I swear every other setup I take over has parts coming in undersized because someone just threw in a new insert without adjusting the wear offset. Just had a job yesterday where the dims were off by .003 and it took me 45 minutes to figure out why. How do you guys handle it when you see someone else's offsets are clearly not set right?

@shedd89 yeah I read that tool nose radius gets baked into CAM defaults but then nobody double checks when they swap inserts, @oliver719 said it, people rush.
