When are you going to come out of the closet, Jim?

Probably because most people can't read a vernier scale. I had to learn when I picked up a Sharps type rifle with a long range sight setup on it. Minute of Angle on a vernier scale.


On topic -

I replaced my brake pads shortly after purchasing my car. Had 40k on the ticker, and the front pads were almost on the wear sensors. I did not replace my rotors nor did I have them turned. My brakes are fine, except for a little squeak here and there.

When I get closer to 80k and need to change the pads again, I will get new rotors.

It can't hurt anything but your wallet to change them prematurely.
