drakulie - have you ever had anyone request you to do a non-legit string pattern such as over, over, under, under, over, over...?

I know it's banned but I had a restring recently where I got this done in the middle 10 of 16 mains (on a PS85 - I was just using the last of a type of string I'm moving on from and thought I'd see how it turned out). It was spinnier no doubt - although had the feel of being a looser string-job (with some tweaking the right balance might be possible).

I wonder if any pros have done it without getting caught.
