I have all of my lab attempts fully documented. They are my possessions and
they have never been given to anyone. But others go in and memorize the lab,
leave, document it just as I do, then sell or train to it. I know others in
my office that are even better at documenting their labs, such that they can
even write down the point value and version of the labs they attempted.
