More thoughts:
I would add that you are only as good as the sum of all of the steps.
If you consider 30 coats, plus tons of intermediary sanding and buffing under varied conditions and mental states, the chance for one mistake that will impact the final result is extremely high.
If you slather on 5 coats of poly after only having to sand some stinking table or dresser to 320 grit, you are bound to look like a super hero. There are exponentially fewer steps where you can catastrophically botch your finish job.
Not insurmountable, but it is extremely hard to do a nitro finish.
I don't even want to think about doing a French Polish finish. That would drive me to drink.
