True. Every builder, no matter how good has a chance of failure somewhere. However, a builder with an excellent reputation for a certain item has a smaller chance than someone who has never done one and is learning or has probably done one several years ago. Again, YouTube videos are great. That said, a reference from someone like a LPE or similar means more than any video. Sure, he will have a few disgruntled customers. That is par for the course. If you have a lot of bad feedback, it makes me leery of you as a professional. OTOH, if you have a lot of other professional people staking their reputation on you, that makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
10 minivan customers saying you are good might not impress me for a performance build. 2 well known engine builders will.
Yes, I can spend a lot of energy and get frustrated banging on doors sifting the wheat from the chaff but why not get someone that is known for that sort of build? I could get your buddy to build my trans or I can keep banging around and getting frustrated. Might as well get someone good in the first place. Less frustration than trying to sift through the mess of idiots which are in abundance.

As I said, you have a right to your opinion. Please let the rest here have theirs. So far, your opinion has not been supported by anyone else. You have proven in other threads that you are willing to argue something right into the ground. I have no time for that. You can have the last word, which you have shown you cherish.
