I guarantee that you haven't, as the number of people that can make that claim in relation to my background is vanishingly small and I know almost all of them by name.

I centralize logs. Not only does it make more sense for administration at scale, it's invaluable for security reasons and assists in compliance by providing a controllable guaranteed audit trail.

You may have a valid argument about cost here for some applications, but it's unwise to make arrogant claims you cannot back up.
