I don't see what the harm is in more practice.

I would hold top-level posts to a higher standard than "don't see the harm".

Right, top level posts need to be held to a strict standard: they need to be good, not just "somewhat nice to have around". Furthermore, they should include things of practical relevance to our everyday existence, like materials science, recycling, non-destructive fasteners, etc.
