what ever it is, its too much. ive yet to see one of those guys be able to function normally. they cannot deviate from what theyve been taught, and theyve been taught by someone who has never actually done what theyre teaching. this is why things are so screwed up. the actual craftsmen have the answer, and have had for years, but they dont have a degree, so no one listens to them. the next time you go for an oil change, and they have to pull the engine to do it, you will know it was an engineer who designed it.
