I think the more people who decide to do their own wiring get properly educated and understand what they are doing the better.

What I was talking about is explaining 'how to plan and do a job properly' but, in doing so, deliberately using technical terminology or jargon which one believes (and probably hopes) will almost certainly not be understood by the op - with, I presume, the motive of making the op realise that the subject is 'over their head'.

Then how about this:

That's certainly a definite improvement on 'blinding with science', although it would probably seem much more friendly/helpful if the list of links was accompanied by at least a little of your excellent prose!
