Bad Wiring idea

My car hasn't been starting, and the starter is working at all, so I thought it must not be getting power, cause either the starter motor or solenoid would go bad, but not both at the same time. So I look at the connections at the starter, and there are 4 wires connected to the battery terminal on the starter... Not 1, 4 lol. I followed the wires to find out where each one goes, and found the true battery wire (the one supposed to be connected to the starter's battery terminal), and it looks as if most of the wire was replaced with a thicker wire, but the last 6 inches was the original wiring. And guess what... It was shot from having to conduct too many amperes. People shouldn't do wiring if they don't know electical properties... Just thought this was a funny/strange thing to share.
