I think that we all know the real answer to that question.

My guess is they gave the job to a junior tech who likely never did it before or a more senior guy that thought he could cheat it and not lock the cams. I have seen techs get away with it to save time. Looks like that guy lost. As someone who would never do well at flat rate on cars, that stuff makes me cringe...
