It can also be a pain in the butt when others ask you for grammatical or syntactical features which you hadn't thought about previously, or when they uncover contradictions you hadn't noticed :) I took a couple of Mark Rosenfelder's languages through their paces when I want and saw whether I could make a conjugation utility in Perl... so I needed to make sure I understood the inflectional morphology correctly.
