When you see a couple of those beams/joists cut like that, you should be more in tune to catch them AFTER they realize what they did and they try to patch it up.

I caught at least a half dozen like that in the last 12 months that were patched over. If they do a really good job patching you'll miss it. But most of the time it's obv.

Funny when your awl goes thru where a beam is supposed to be.
