I get that, really the concerning example is electrical. That’s a bad task to be confident about “knowing how to perform a task yourself at all” and the problem isn’t “slowly or jankily”, it’s safety.
OP sounds overconfident given the stakes in electrical and illegibility of whether you did it safely. If they really want to push back against me, the most concrete way to do that is to write a case study on how they did their own electrical. And why not? It puts a lot of teeth on their thesis if they can do it successfully, might teach me something, and they either win the debate or learn about a real possible error they should fix.
