Overheard a guy at Home Depot say taping is 'just mudding with extra steps'

I was grabbing some 90-minute compound yesterday in the aisle and this dude tells his buddy that finishing drywall is basically the same as hanging it, just messier. Like, has he ever tried to get a crisp corner bead or feather out a butt joint without sanding through the paper? Makes me wonder how many folks out there actually think this trade is just slapping mud on walls.

Man, that guy has clearly never tried to tape a ceiling after lunch.
