No, but we also keep in mind the technical disadvantages of
stitching and the effort you have to put into the stitching.

No objections to the theory, but I'd rather turn this job down

You might be able to overcome perspective distortions and
stitching borders, but this takes a lot of work.
Not worth the time.
