Not to dwell on this, but you did say I believe that you don't have a progressive, so you are NOT speaking from experience.
I am, however, curious to hear why you think I would be more likely to miss a potential problem on my single stage than I would with a progressive press.
As he explained, you are screwing around with things and touching things and changing things out much more and more often.
Just because you (generic you) have a progressive, it does not mean you have to start trying to crank out as many rounds as possible as quickly as you can. You go at your speed and operate in a safe manner, doing one round at a time to start, learning about reloading. As you get better and more confident in your ability, you can go faster and get more ammo for a given amount of time.
Back when I used a single stage (yes, I started that way as I had no one to help me figure out what I really should have bought to start) I stopped loading 223 and 9mm and stuff on it as it took too long to create an amount of ammo I could shoot in my AR or my USP in a short amount of time. I would load mainly 6.5x55, 303, 308, etc on it and buy most of my 223 and 9mm and 40. Now, I load it all as I can spend a few hours and get a whole case of two worth of ammo done in short order.
Stay safe and have fun,
