inI'm done politely explaining why you can't 'just try' running a crane during family dinner arguments.
Attempted to help my friend install a new gas line after he binge-watched DIY videos, and it was a disaster waiting to happen. He kept saying how easy it looked online, ignoring the permits and codes involved, and I had to call a real professional before he blew up the neighborhood. It's exactly what you're talking about, this illusion that complex tasks are simple just because someone made a catchy tutorial. That overconfidence spills over into bigger things, like you said with cranes and surgery, where mistakes aren't just messy but deadly. We really need to respect the years of training that go into these professions instead of assuming a quick video can replace expertise.
