Because a killer mistake only costs you a model that costs $1-$5 at your
local hobby shop or swap meet, instead of $15-$25 for an advanced styrene
kit or $12-$50 for a resin kit. Consider it a low-cost way to improve your
skills.

for grossly inept modelers??"

Westerfield definitely does for 99% of his parts (no Carmer cut levers!);
Sunshine and Funaro do if you're willing to wait a real long time.
