No, it is simply more experienced people who have been there pointing out
the disadvatages.
You can make a PCB with some blank board, and a sharp knife. That's about
as basic as it gets.
However, a minium effort must be put in to get basic quality (or in other
words a board that is at least similar to the layout you had in mind and
has no errors like shorts and gaps).

Nobody here discourages the most basic discussion about PCB making (and
you have the archives to come up with an example.). If i see a flaw with a
method i will say so, that's what a list is for after all to get help from
people who have tried it. A wholly aggrable listmember that only ever says
"great idea, do it" isn't very useful at all.

The listowner sees that similar, as you see he only steps in if a
discussion gets too much off topic, and does never diccourage any PCB
discussion now matter how basic the method.

I really don't know what your problem with my posts is. I ask you to
please come up with an example, and then we will work on doing something
about it. But if you can't do that please stop saying things about me that
aren't correct.
