whats wild is that all the returned values were the same this is only for a log value that probably zero people check

I believe rule of thumb is to track/log at least one level deeper than what you show to the end user, to ease with troubleshooting and debugging.

Beyond that, logs are only useless until they aren't, and then if you don't have them you're in for a universe of pain.
