Warning: That 'shake and empty' trick for salt shakers is ruining your seasoning

I kept wondering why my chili tasted so flat even after adding salt from the shaker, so I tested it by sprinkling some on a dark plate. Turns out when you shake and dump, you're mostly getting the empty air pressure and a tiny puff of salt, but if you tap the shaker's side before pouring, the salt flows consistently every time. Has anyone else noticed this messing up their recipes or am I just slow to catch on?

So you're telling me my entire chili game has been a lie because I shake salt like an angry maraca player? Guess it's time to apologize to all those bland dinners I blamed on "bad recipes.
