Like Flip is saying - welding is a skill.
Just like driving >> almost anybody can do it, but only few come to perfection.
Weld is thicker than the connected material, so theoretically good, well penetrated weld should be strongest point in the construction.
I never got to aluminium welding, but from what I heard, just like heat-treated steel it need to have certain temperature to make good weld.
Most of builders don't observe the criteria and cold welds, with poor penetration are just a bit better than bubble gum.
