  Why do people always feel like their inexperience on a topic is relevant?

  Probably to politely invite contrasting opinions and experiences from people in the field

    Exactly. “I’m no expert, but this feels weird.”

      Claiming not a lot of work was done

      No, just the opposite. It’s a ton of work for not a lot of results. It’d be like saying it took you 3 days to make a sandwich. That’s wayyyyyy longer than I’d expect it to take, with the caveat, I’m not a professional sandwich maker.

  Because this feels unusual but I’m not an expert and I can’t say whether that amount of time is truly usual or not. I’m in manufacturing and when people say what I said, then it’s usually as an invitation to discuss the topic.

      That’s what I thought I did, though I implied it instead of ask directly.
