I KNOW that if I nom a candidate, that the candidate will receive less scrutiny than if you do... even if we used the exact same nom because I've developed a reputation in the RfA process.  People KNOW that I don't nom candidates without spending HOURS reviewing them first.  I reviewed my most recent candidate (Slp1) for about 6 hours because I wanted to check out her CSD noms.  The regulars at the RfA process know this about me.
