If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

Top - Yes it does UNTIL experience with joints teaches one what to look for in layouts. After a few snafus, and if one is prone to learn from experience, one learns WHAT to look at or where to look for alignment.
Those two picts are great teachers too!

Hi Loring, presuming this wasn't you
If the cut piece had been laid over the layout piece based on those markings, they would have seen the issue. I think this is why, when we do dovetails, we use the pin-board to layout the tails (or vise versa).
