Old timer called me out for cleaning sensor with wrong swab size

I was using APS-C swabs on my full frame sensor for years until a retired Nikon tech watched me do it and said I was just smearing grease around. He showed me how the extra millimeter actually pushes dust into the corners instead of picking it up. Has anyone else had to unlearn a shortcut they thought worked fine?

A photography blogger said the same thing about lens cleaning habits too.

A photography blogger said that?" I'm honestly floored they'd admit that publicly.
