Uh-huh. Right.

Why does that seem like such a weirdly common blindspot by the authors of those guides? Is it that they realize adding such safety measures entirely obliterates the easy (and very debatably cheap) part?

People in third world countries teaching idiots in first world countries to do it in their enclosed garage? Noo......

People in first world countries teaching how to do something as cheap and quick as possible, so that more people will refer to their videos and thus become a youtuber? No way....

If all you learn is only through a single source, you're likely going to be missing a few steps or tips in how to do things effectively...

@lucifargundam It'd be one thing if they already had it and just completely omitted to mention it (thereby being safe themselves but endangering their readers & viewers), but what seems to be the most common case is that they just don't have it at all.
