Haha u have that the wrong way round my friend.
They're far more skilled than they may appear.
Just because they may not be on a similar academic level, their manual skills are highly developed over many generations.
 
That looked so painfully slow and the mix seemed so dry, I would have used a plastering tub and mix with an old slow speed belly drill to a semi dry mix.
 
What can I say? Times change, technology moves on. What worked 2000yrs ago for Roman floors would still work today. What wouldn't work today is the time it would take!
Far faster and easier to fix down Ditra. It costs more in materials but less in time.
The places you've observed s&c fixing - it almost certainly wasn't porcelain.
