I personally never do the resistance checks, or the parts counts, the only 
thing I ever do is check the pa finals are not shorted after working on the 
K2.

I have built two K2's, lots of options for them, a K1, and have yet to be 
short a part, or have a problem other than one unsoldered joint on a K2 
relay.
(at 50, my vision has really gotten bad).

I am really amazed that I have not had a single missing part, or even one 
bad part, you would think some are bound to get in the system, but no....

The Elecraft instruction books are so good, even though I rush through and 
build things really fast, (K2 in under 3 days) they work when I am done.

I wont recommend NOT doing the checks, I suppose you could fry a lot of 
parts, but I wonder what percentage of builders do the checks...
