A simple week of setting tile leads into a much larger discussion: why “we’ve always done it this way” is not the same as proof, why the most vociferous voice is not always the most informed, and why expertise should remain correctable when better information becomes available.\nFrom manufacturer instructions, codes, ANSI standards, and craftsmanship to social-media validation, artificial intelligence, responsibility shifting, and the temptation to defend an opinion instead of testing it, this episode asks a simple question:\nWhat would actually change your mind?\nBecause experience matters. Standards matter. Judgment matters. But when the evidence changes, the conclusion may need to change with it.\nDrama wants somebody to win.\nTechnical work needs an answer.\nReality gets the final vote.\nStandards. Not Suggestions.™\nPool Envy, LLC | Florida CPC1460695","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/jreV9to6Gdt_b4cNPqrqc4CVBF1HQSMuSot2984YFkQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85Mzhj/ODVhMDRlNTJhM2Iy/MjNhYTU1OWY1NmU4/NjE5ZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
