If I tell you to go in my backyard and dig me a whole that is as wide and deep as this 2x4 with this shovel i'm handing you
how much skill does that take?

there is no thinking involved
you dont even have to measure anything
the whole simply has to be as wide as the 2x4 and as deep as it
so a 6 foot square by 6 foot deep whole is what I'd want

you will continue to dig that dirt out until you've met my request

flipping burgers at mcdonalds is not a "skill" because it has all been automated

a burger flipper at mcdonalds has all of FIVE MINUTES of training before they are left on their own to do the task by themselves forever.
there are maybe 10 steps to cooking mcdonalds hamburger patties:

1. take frozen hamburger patty out of box
2. place it on grill
3. press GO! button above grill
4. when alarm goes off flip patty with spatuala
5. sprinkle salt/pepper mixture on patty
6. press GO! button above grill
7. when alarm goes off remove patty into yellow warming tray/drawer
8. go back to step 1 and repeat for 8 continuous hours
