Depends on how you define "valid". If someone is asking what is the right way to wire a bus, or weld, or grind metal, or design a 3D printed part, or... sure you can just figure it out, and kludge something together, and it might work - maybe it'll even work the entire season. Many people will do this. Or you can teach best practices, good engineering, and solid design along the way!
