Am I the only one who thinks wet sieving is cheating? Found 12 microdebits at a site in Arkansas that dry screening missed completely

Wet sieving is cheating? Come on man, that's like saying using a metal detector is cheating because your eyes missed the target. Screening is just one tool in the box and it has limits, everybody knows that. If you pulled 12 microdebits out of the same dirt that dry screening said was empty, that tells you the dry method failed at that site, not that you did something wrong. Calling it cheating sort of implies there's some rulebook for how you're supposed to find rocks, and I've never seen one. The whole point is recovering what's there, and if water gets you more, then use water.
