Default 1/4 in or Scant 1/4 in

It may be a coincidence, but lately so many videos/tutes/demos on blogs or YouTube just say "sew a 1/4 inch seam allowance", no mention is ever made of the scant 1/4. I even attended a workshop recently and it wasn't mentioned.

I was taught to always use the scant (won't mention the time I pieced half the blocks using scant and the other half full 1/4! )

Remembering to reset my sewing machine everytime is a pain, but so is cutting off the points and having to rip out.

Did I missed a new trick or something?
