suppose this fellow is limited in his skills and we tell him to crack open the

get air and have to bleed the brakes... and bleeding brakes in not for the novice....
a novice could very easily bleed the brakes incorrectly and get themselves killed.

A turkey baster allows a novice with limited skills to change the fluid in the reservoir. This is not a quality brake job, if the intent of the brake job was a fluid change.
You will not get air in the brake lines for the reason noted above. Fluid will flow out of the bleed screw due to gravity from the reservoir. Air will not go in.
A novice can easily bleed brakes. It's not possible to bleed brakes "incorrectly". However, you can fail to bleed brakes sufficiently to get all the air out. The novice will know this immediately when they step on the brake pedal. If you don't want to learn how to do the job properly, then take the vehicle to a professional mechanic.
