I wish the other members of my family were similarly unaware of the replaced
incandescent bulbs.  The one's I buy usually aren't compact enough to be
visually unidentifiable and the fraction of a second lag between flipping
the switch and turn-on is usually noticable; and often I didn't precede this
with lowering the wattage of incandescent bulb used, which meant that the
flourescent was noticably dimmer as well.

Perhaps I'm not as skilled in skullduggery as Laurent   :-))
