:) You got my smile. Two little lessons. First, as we know from smileys, a single line can give a simple drawing of a face a very different expression. Second, while your labels are fine, I would probably have come up with somewhat different labels.

Conclusion: we are dealing with a question of muscle control, which is under stress when coupled with being in a hurry, e.g. for being paid by the number of pieces delivered. Some engravers deal better with that than others.
