Debate: Should I trust the manufacturer's torque spec or go with gut feel?
Last Tuesday I was working on a Bosch dishwasher at a house in Elmhurst and the manual said 25 inch-pounds for the sump screws. I followed it exactly but one strip of plastic cracked and now the whole thing leaks. My buddy swears by going 10% under the spec on plastic parts, but my old mentor said never deviate. Which side do you lean on for plastic components?

Going 10% under on plastic feels like the safer bet honestly.
