**** poor training then!
You can't expect anyone coming across something new to be as good as
someone familiar with the problem/job (it does happen but only because
the expert isn't).

No harry, it would take remarkable training to get an apprentice to do a job as fast & well as someone that knows their trade, and do it quick enough that overall there was no loss in productivity compared to the experienced tradesman working alone.
