A phase?

I think it's counter productive to think looking at pots is counter productive.
That's the mindset I stay in.

Sweep and .......
You ever hear the Bill Burr when he uses that voice and says, "oh, it's pesto"...
That's the voice I hear taking about wood ash, "it's caustic, it's caustic".
I don't even like that word!

Yes, the air can still escape, but it has already caused the piece to not attach properly. Then with just the edges attached, normal shrink makes it pop.

I would be slightly worried about them falling off with glaze in a glaze fire.

I'm anti slip. Just score and water droplets from a needle bottle. Your skip could be the culprit if it's different. I believe slip in a jar can become so bacterially different, it could effect the drying rates. Especially taking into account @liambesawnotes of Fungi gathering metals and minerals, it's what they do.
This picture shows best the smooth parts that were attached well.

 
If you concave the attachments slightly, so the center is first to contact, you will never trap air, or begin at one side and roll it out the other side.
If you're a criminal, like they do fingerprints!

I am with this one...
Especially if you were trying to line up edges well, it makes you seal up the edges first, trapping the air. 
Then, unless you push so hard you break the seal, it'll feel good and attached no matter how hard you push.
What does the scored side of that fish shaped piece look like?
Those score lines shouldn't be visible at all, that clay should be homogeneous. It had to be air, or just not enough "scoochy scoochy". (That's a technical term I love as learned from a HS teacher on YouTube!)
Then Shrink either drying or firing, made them break off. If attached well, you may have still seen cracks where it cracked. Ar other attachments still on and cracked?

My first thought was, anything you can't find in the woods is "technology". However, a depression in the earth to turn a round pot and an anvil and paddle were once new technology.
So I believe a "History of Pottery Tech" would be more wholly encompassing and easier to....
Not argue about? Lol!

I believe there is evidence that it's not that bad for bad cholesterol. Sugar is worse!

I dropped a needle tool in my lap yesterday. To keep it from falling on the floor, I closed my legs real fast.
Now there is a hole in my leg!
But I the tool didn't hit the floor!
