Of course - but if you’ve gone behind 99% of people doing their own electrical, you’ll also understand why I’m saying what I’m saying.

Everyone thinks they are the exception. Occasionally, one of them is even right, eh?

Think I've done that and I'll raise you an "and yet barely any houses burn down due to their electrical!" I actually jest. But electrical is one of those things that anyone can do, but ought to be done with the utmost care (and in the US many jurisdictions allow DIY electrical if you're doing the work for your own place).

And just to clarify I don't think I'm the exception. I was actually making the opposite argument. Almost anyone can and should attempt to deconstruct complexity because doing things is not always as difficult as it would seem (or as difficult as we've been told).

Appreciate the dialogue, lazide!

		Eh, I’ve dealt with enough people to say nah - people really should not be doing their own structural engineering, or electrical. It isn’t due to ‘complexity’ either - rather indifference, laziness, or just plain stupidity. I’ve seen people almost burn down their places multiple times - and at least one family actually die from an electrical fire. Also, partial building collapses. The reason you don’t see it more often is because people generally don’t actually try.
