Ok, ok, you got me. But in this case it wasn't voicing.  Just today I 
was asked by a visiting artist to just clean up the octaves.

Do what?  If the octaves have gone, the whole piano is gone.  There's 
not time for that now.

I touched up a few unisons.  They'll love it.

I think sometimes they like to talk just because they think they're 
supposed to sound smarter than everybody else.
