Tell me about it, all the juniors were doing it at my old job, and I was usually the one tasked with fixing their shit. And since we basically didn't do any form of mentoring (including code reviews) it was such a pain in the ass to get them to change their ways

It's not actually that powerful, but it does work like this to some extent (and of course the "official" lore is pretty vague about it and sometimes contradicts itself).

The way I see it, they can't just pick up a stick and turn it into a rifle by believing that it is one, but they have some inherent collective knowledge of mechanics that allows them to make the technology even though their intellect should definitely be a huge hurdle, and if they collectively believe hard enough that, for example, the (hand made) barrel of their gun that should be way off tolerance is actually a proper gun barrel, it will work as intended and only blow up after emptying 20 mags instead of instantly
