What is the alternative that doesn't invite High School students to be dishonest?

Which to be clear, they 100% will do. Either for malicious reasons or just for a goof and a gaff

There are literally high school students walking around with phones more expensive than my first car, and I'm not that old...

    If Dave were worth his salt - he would be capable of telling you this job is over his head, or if you legally need a professional.

    That's part of being a handyman. If he can't do that then he's dangerous, and not worth any amount of money.

    And you'd best pay him for coming to this conclusion....

    Yes absolutely.

    You'll see it in woodworking forums all the time.

    I got my table saw to be .000001 degrees.

    If you're working with wood and measuring more specific than 1/16 inch - you're doing something wrong. Wood can swell 1/8 inch for every foot with the season changes

    It's also a lot about experience.

    If you don't know when a dough ball should be smooth/sticky then you're going to have a bad time.

    Maybe because I live in an area with very high humidity gradients - I always adding a pinch of flour, or a tbsp of water to get it just right
