The title asks the exact question the strange image plants.
Thumbnail
The image catches the forbidden act mid-pour so it cannot be unseen.
Use this when your technique visibly contradicts standard practice. Show yourself mid-act doing the forbidden thing and label it a trick so it reads as deliberate, not a mistake. Keep the reason for the video.
