There is a scene in the fourth season when Tucker is the chief engineer of the Colombia and he is calling for tolerances in the dilithium crystals to be tighter than spec. When an junior engineer challenges him by saying the spec says a higher number, he pushes back saying that he's actually been running the warp engine and he knows better.
I've been in situations like that at work. I always ask what the senior worker's reason for doing things different is, because then I've benefitted from their experience too
Im pretty sure Trip was there before the book was written

Thus his caption. Although partially it's his behavior as well. Even if there was a book I doubt he'd often look through it.
Trip is definitely the "real men don't need manuals" kinda guy lol
Just polarize the hull and isolate something, that'll fix it.
