They might get in over their head, but that's part of the learning experience.
If something does break down, if they do fail, they will learn.

You know why veteran programmers are so good at debugging code? Its because they've made a hundred times as many mistakes as the rookies. We should give the rookies every opportunity to learn, even if it means putting them at risk of "failure".
