Scaling something is probably going to be the least of someones worries working alone and having to learn the entirety of game design and pretty much has already accomplished it by myself self learning from nothing... coding and 3d modelling. However knowing the basics of 3d from opening things like 3ds max since I was 12 helped when it came to making 3d and having to prove myself to people trying to make not wanting to learn 3d into incompetence. 3d printing modelling things to scale, transforms being the simplest and probably one of the first things you learn in unity when using it as a game engine before even learning how to code or 3d model.

Still I don't see anything wrong with that sentence :/. I wasn't even calling you a beginner (being a beginner is nothing to be ashamed of, imho... how else do you refer to people that are starting out with something?). I was just pointing out that understanding transform hierarchies well is far from trivial, specially when scaling is involved (when composed with rotations scaling gives rise to skew, it's not always clear what the difference between transform scale vs import scale factor vs unit conversion is or what order they're applied in, etc), and that simpler solutions exist.

That's some twisted train of thought right there, man. Transform hierarchies don't seem simple to me, there's lots of pitfalls and subtle caveats that make it hard to deal with them sometimes. Rotation order (XYZ, YXZ, etc), composition order (TRS vs RTS vs STR and all that stuff), etc. I was just trying to make your life easier by nudging you in the direction of using unit scaling, which makes things easier to work with. That's all.
