I recently (about the third time) realized: the "on-chain data" I see might also be delayed... Sometimes it's not the project team being dishonest, but your connected RPC node is lagging or behind, or the indexer hasn't yet scanned the transaction. The result is that you're staring at the block explorer/wallet: clearly sent, but why hasn't it shown up yet? You start to panic, don't dare to add too much gas, and basically you're scaring yourself.
Not to mention recently everyone has been complaining that validators earn too much, and MEV makes the ordering unfair. In plain terms, the sequence you see and the "priority" you think you understand might look different depending on the entry point. Now I’ve gotten used to checking two sources, waiting a few seconds before drawing conclusions, and making a note: don’t treat “what I see” as the “real-time on-chain truth.”
