“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” – H.L. Mencken (1880 – 1956)

My Dad on troubleshooting a mechanical problem...

. "To find out what it is, first find out what it ain't "

His approach was to rule out the cheapest, easiest, most obvious first, and move up from there.

That's how I was trained to 'fault-find' by the Navy... and how I instructed the Sailors later on. For some reason the schools started teaching the young 'techs' to "drive the books/manuals" and consult the troubleshooting section whenever an equipment fault occurred.

Wrong! I'd have to make them tell me 'what was working' so that they could narrow it down to 'what it wasn't'. Only then would I allow them to touch a manual.
