I need to swap out the wheels on my car. I think I know
better than to read the manual to, say, understand how much
torque I should apply to each bolt, or what pattern I should use
when tightening the bolts. Or, I read the manual but decide
it’s too hard to understand, and I don’t ask for help in
clearing up some of the grey areas.
I change the wheels anyway. In the end, it looks right.
They roll. Meh. All good.
Then the wheels fall off.
There is absolutely no one to blame for any of that but me.
In my view, I see no difference here.
