If the waiter doesn't like that, go and have the discussion with the cook.

I know, that's why I said "in your world". What you are doing is wrong, but nobody can stop you from doing it. I can guarantee you that when you tip low, the server isn't thinking it was because of the food no matter what the circumstance was.

Now, if the food is prepared wrong (like a steak being medium when you ordered it rare) then, yeah, I can see tipping low on that because you don't know whether it was the server's fault or the cook's. They can have words about that and it's not really your concern.
