Because the "preflight" counts as a post flight. Some oddball FAA opinion from the 1970s I think.

And yet my old shop required both a pre-flight AND and post-flight.

The morale of the story is to not get sloppy with what you can see, because the littlest thing can have some tragic effects and not to make excuses. Some mechanic got sloppy think duh, nothing will happen if it falls off.

No, there was a gross error made during shift change.
