No that's not what I suggested. Read it again a couple of times, carefully.

I think it was a logical and concise argument.

Perhaps a better statement is: "any semi technical skill takes way more than 10 weeks to become productive and not a risk".

Are you happy now?

I still disagree. There are a shitload of very technical skills you can learn in 10 weeks proficiently enough to produce valuable work.

Risk management is up to the employer.
