I kinda think it might have something to do with how much time he spends hanging out with Gene Winfield.

His approach kinda reminds me of a previous girl and her skills in the kitchen. She was a great cook but her position on trying something new was "we can always throw it out and order a pizza". He seems to go in to most stuff with an attitude of it might not work out, I might not know what exactly it is that I'm doing but I can always cut it up again or sand it down until it turns in to something.
