I've just tried many, many times to use a key on a door right beside a watchman, and he didn't seem to care at all... I'm talking about the line that says that it's the same as a pick or credit card, but it doesn't seem to be. Can anyone shine some light on the darkness that is my comprehension of this conundrum?

- When you pick a lock within sight of a watchman, there is a certain probability per turn that the watchman will notice you. A key takes far fewer turns than any of the other methods, so overall you are less likely to be noticed when using a key. However, the probability per turn is the same for all the methods.
