Bad levels certainly do exist. I usually don't have an issue, but I always check my levels, no matter how seemingly insignificant the project. The difference between what most people consider level, and what I consider level becomes apparent the further the level line is run from the origin. I've used specialized tools to carry level lines miles from the point where the measurement originated. South Florida is so pancake flat that moving water down a simple neighborhood curb becomes an expensive disaster when you don't check your tools. Not setting the finish floor grade properly on a multi-million dollar mansion is a liability expense I never intend to eat. I was taught to check my tools every time I take them out of the box.
