I've found it amusing re-reading this thread and I'm sure the majority of us add on another rinse or two - 'just to be on the safe-side.'
Recently, whilst printing some of my negatives from the early 1980's, when I restarted in the darkroom in earnest, I also carried this maxim across to my developing of films as well. 'Just another minute of development will do no harm - just to be on the safe-side.' I think I was also a bit liberal with my temperatures as well, with me ending up with rather dense, but printable, negatives.
I'm a bit more careful these days and my more recent negatives print much easier - the majority of the time...
