I built steps to a pool deck that were crooked but appeared
sturdy ... they even lasted until a few months after the
pool supports rusted-out ... then started to fall apart.
Fortunately they didn't fail earlier & someone was injured.
I'm obviously no one's idea of a carpenter.
Just sayin' - knowledge & skill do have value ...

Why? Countless people with no previous experience have build
substantial sailing vessels and travel the world in them, and in
sometimes unwise sea conditions too.
You are vastly safer with a shoddy home made amp, than you are in a
shoddy home made yacht.
Some types of people are very good at following a highly detailed list
of instructions without having any real knowledge at all.
