I understand where you are coming from, however, without people willing 
to push the envelope and try new things, nothing will innovated will 
happen. While being an expert on such matters definitely helps, by no 
means does that mean that accidents don't innovate. Look at penicillin, 
and various other "inventions".

Stub your toe on an install a few times, and you'll learn a LOT. 
Granted, if you keep stubbing your toe then expect to get kill filed.

What is the saying? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over 
again, while always expecting a different outcome.

yeah.. something like that.
