there is also a very very big difference between you having an engine built and needing your whole car finished for you. you have a lot of knowledge and you have built up a lot of different cars. not doing or not being an expert in one area or another is not comparable in this situation.

So, you provided things to read. Big whoop. I read just about every car mag around, and a lot of stuff still goes WAY over my head. Case in point: I had no f'n idea what was meant about flow rates of heads, and how flow benches work. And no matter how much I READ about the stuff, it still made no sense. Then I spent some time in shops, with someone SHOWING me the jazz, and it made sense. So, without getting into anymore "catch phrases" since they go so against your grain, I learned by being SHOWN not by being TOLD. And just for the record, I thought you could relate to trying to teach with parables, since I seem to remember you posting about spiritual things. And as we all know, Jesus taught with parables.
