What risk is imposed by what the newbie doesn't know about the existing (I

That is not it.

At interview:

Newbie: "Sure, I can set tha up in 25 minutes."

Experienced guy: "I will need to sit down and plan this to ensure no
mistakes are made and that this architecture can grow/scale and be reliable.

This often choose the newbie because he can deliver faster. And they
don't understand the need to properly architect a system. When is
important to them is to have it up and running ASAP. And problems that
crop up later on due to poro planning anc architecting of the system are
irrelevant.

There was a poster making the rounds a while back:
