I think G-Force accidentally exposed a slight bias, whether he realizes it or not, that somehow a homebuilt aircraft is of less quality than a manufactured one. It's easy to make this correlation and obvious why, because everyone assumes some random idiot could never build something as complicated as a plane, and requires the fine tuning and expertise of an experienced builder. I would agree if not for the fact that I've never heard of the wings falling off a homebuilt during flight. Since experimentals dont use homebuilt engines, what else is there to go wrong? Even if it was mechanical per se, it wouldnt be the fault of the builder. Buy a better engine next time.
