here's some guesses, Prof:
-some cure rather than dry, so leaving the lid off is a bad idea, while working
-once opened, air is introduced into the paint bottle and it's downhill from there, so leaving the lid off is avoidable, but not much help.
-contaminants introduced from the brush contribute to the act of curing or drying, so pouring from the bottle and carefully wiping the rim is better than brush as ladle approach.
