Default (in North-East USA): Must *every* leaf be blown from lawn?

There are two different styles of "mulch". One is to pile the leaves
around trees, shrubs, etc. The other is to put in a "mulching plug"
in your lawn mower and chop them up by mowing over them as they lay.
Most of the 'mulch' suggestions in the thread refer to the latter.

I have used the latter method since 1976 at times with leaves higher
than the entire mower. Takes multiple passes but when done the lawn
has a 'salt and pepper' appearance and a day later nothing shows.
Leaves need to be dry for the best resultss though.

Same here with a similar depth of leaves.
