Or in this case: how many boards did they wreck learning what

rhetorical i know

but it is wood so they still have failures


Well, yes. There is that while bit of the difference between the
apprentice, journeyman and the master. After a failure the apprentice
says "I thought it would work." The journeyman says "That doesn't
work." and the Master say "Oh yeah, that doesn't work."

just a reminder
wood has no imperfections but only misuse or miscalculations or in other
words incorrect expectations in its use


Yep.
