>> I finally got tired of listening to her whinging (and trying to look over my shoulder at the data), looked at her and told that the reason why I could see it was because I didn't care. It was all just numbers and words to me and my biggest concern was making sure the numbers got into the correct boxes/fields/tables/etc and attached to the correct words.

I once won 10$ off one of our Securitynazis by betting them I could find at least 5 lists of passwords in any given office area because they wanted to implement a password policy even more draconian than the one we already had - change every 30 days, couldn't re-use a password from the last 12 months. I told them that this forced people to do the two things you really shouldn't do, use patterns and write them down. He swore people didn't do that and I said "bet me".
