That’s true but you can mess up pretty bad if you don’t know what you’re doing and aren’t carefully following a recipe. One time I wanted a stir fry to be more filling, so I added flour, which apparently gives it a uniquely unpleasant slimy texture and is basically inedible. Never did that again but that kind of stuff can happen more often before you have much experience cooking. Even if you are following a recipe sometimes they can be ambiguous or give wrong measurements (especially for the amount of salt to use).
