Laughing at others for their chosen pastime is never a suitable response unless they actively seek to amuse.


More like laughing because they didn't anticipate what the were doing would actually require an effort. Back to the rat's nest. A permanently-mounted instrument being a wiring rat's nest is likely no issue, I've seen professional installations that met the description. You would only go through wiring process a few times unless you insisted in doing it for each observing session. But I've on more than one occasion seen some forlorn astronomer realizing they'd forgotten some critical electrical device or connection piece when in the field.


That's what written checklists are for.
