Nah, I've seen that blow up bad. Some bosses just want a yes man and see pushback as disrespect. My cousin tried that "show me" line and his foreman just got meaner, started cutting his hours. Not every bully backs down, sometimes they double down.

My third try with that blue crystal recipe shattered eight bowls last winter. The thermal shock from cooling too fast just spiderwebbed every single piece. I still find little glaze flakes in my kiln shelf sometimes.
