I think, that bad things follow from bad form.

So formal correctness is actually a requirement in theoretical physics. 
There is actually no justification for avoiding formally correct methods.

My personal experience was more like this:
serious errors or other forms of trouble came often from an attempt to 
find 'shortcuts' and avoid 'unnecessary' steps.

But such steps were most often necessary, even if I could not see their 
need. So, I changed an important strategy and put more emphasis on 
formal issues and tried to avoid 'shortcuts'.

Such shortcuts can be implemented in future versions of the same 
procedure, when the principle route is already established.

So, even if it is annoying and takes time: the variable names are chosen 
with care, the text gets structured well and the spelling is correct 
(and so forth).

An abstract or abbreviated version can later be derived from the long 
version (not the other way round).

This is an invitation to 'wishful reading', were you see things, which 
are simply not there.

Well, that is most likely true, because I'm the 'crackpot', who disturbs 
the cosy slumber.
