If you write it down you have to pay attention to it.
Back filling as you go is easier, and the other players can hold min maxers in their place as well as a DM.
Like, I never played much but we knew a dude who would always claim undisclosed knowledge or experience relevant to whatever was happening. So eventually in-game we just started calling him a liar, and the DM went with.
For example we needed food so he suddenly was an expert in foraging, but he really wasn’t so no one else ate the berries and he had severe diarrhea the next few game days.
It’s self regulating, don’t try stupid shit or stupid shit happens to you.
