Italy's approach to tool offsets never worried me before. Hearing about your near-miss has me double-checking my own setups now.

Yeah, tool offsets are deceptively simple until they're not. My old shop had a lathe that would drift over time, so we started logging every adjustment. Found out the heat from running all day was throwing things off by a few thou. Makes you respect the basics, like manual checks before each run.
