Hello again from Adam.
I posted that article to show how much things have changed with automotive repair and how the industry of indy diagnosis and troubleshooting is evolving.
Muddy Oval, in my opinion, that was a arrogant opinion. If you dont have any expierence and dont know what you are doing, what do common sense people do? They find out what they have to do. Modern manufacturing has lead to those who part swap, but if the person wants to know why and most importantly wants to get it fixed economically, an education is the only way to go.
Your lack in faith in your fellow humans saddens me. Then why are we here?
One reason I posted that article was that we are indirectly mentioned there.
The closest things have I seen that is similar to modern auto repair is modern medicine and antique tube radio repair.
They both require you to have a basic and sound foundation of knowledge.
You can do parts swapping on a tube radio but sometimes it is not the tube but the old capacitors giving up the magic smoke. It helps to understand how electronics works to repair a tube radio.
As for medicine, you rely on objective and subjective evidence to discover what is wrong. It does not help that patients lie to to their nurses / doctors/ paramedics for their own idiotic reasons.
Did you know that sudden pain at ones navel is one sign of appendicitis? Or that stabbing pain in back along with a tearing pain in your chest means your having a dissecting aortic anuerym? Or the first sign of a heart attack is not chestpain but denial?
Knowledge and wisdom is key/ bad attitudes wont help.
Adam
