Sometimes, you do need to reduce spice proportions, depending on what 
you are cooking. I know some excellent cooks who are quite good at 
redacting, but need to redact to explicit measurements, and feel 
uncomfortable with redacting on the fly or changing things on the fly. I 
don't think that makes them worse cooks. There are special situations 
where spicing can be a PITA because you need to spice at the beginning 
and can't change the spices afterward, but at the beginning you can't 
always tell how its going to blend.
