1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I was watching a Mythbusters show on this and one of the Apollo missions left a reflector on the moon. In the show they aimed a powerful laser at it and the computer would detect any return from the reflector and they got some return from it. ;)

You can search Youtube for videos from it.

the mythbusters moon landing episode was really good i thought. they only aired about 25% of the tests because of the episode length. you can catch the rest online.

it was really good.
