RE: Any reason besides safety to keep the lid on,,,

when I worked in a semiconductor fab as an equipment guy, I was REQUIRED by good practices to replace every fastener I removed.
One buddy was working on an RF generator, used to generate a plasma in a tool, when an idiot dropped their (stainless steel) tweezers INTO and ON the circuit board, reached in a plucked them OUT. No smoke, flames, zaps or ANYTHING.
Other people, leaning over active, high power RF circuits have been medically damaged by so doing.

At least SS doesn't have the wacky voltages common in tube gear.
Too much is never enough
