"You're not capable of understanding the constraints of the design" is a garbage argument, especially when levied against the people on this forum.
Especially when the person saying it doesn’t actually understand the constraints themselves; they’re just assuming that of course professionals must have had a good reason for doing something some way. Which generally is a good default assumption, but is sometimes clearly untrue. Now if an actual expert comes in and says something would be a great design except that FRA regulations require, or firecode requires, or whatever, that is also an opportunity to learn.
