Transcript:
Before everything was computers, people understood how their things worked. Granted. I guess quantum field theory was more than you needed to know to work a saw. What's your point?
Today’s one of those ‘Whose argument is more off-point’ concepts I get tickled by. They occur in so many areas of our lives. Advertising, for one. Bad advertising. Some of the more regular commenters can point out the other obvious areas. Anybody?
Gasp… So you do need to understand quantum field theory to work a saw? Goodness gracious! Who would’ve thunk? @Greg: you can’t please everyone. Though I don’t understand why some people don’t just leave and instead have to be vocal and almost rude about it.
That’s quite true. I seem to recall with my old tank (1965 Rambler) that I could stick a Phillips screwdriver fown that slot and wiggle it, or put more water in the radiator, or use pantyhose for the fanbelt (lasted long enough to get to the gas station) – all made the car go.

My dad, now 98, had to completely take apart and reassemble his car when he was young. I’d like to see anyone do that now!
