Especially in a bathroom when I’m not familiar with where pipes behind toilets and sinks are located. The less chances of hitting a pipe, the better.

We do a lot of work in older buildings where the 16 inch on center rule hardly exists and stud finders are pretty much useless due to lath. Trying to hit studs ends up making Swiss cheese out of the work. Also, if you don’t have a nail gun you end up with hammer tracks everywhere.
