   @theblazehen @glent what if we invert that and say that cars should be simple enough that the average person can service their own?

     @glent @evan Agree. Not everyone needs to know how to service their own car, however they _do_ all need to know how to _drive_ their car

     @evan This is "everyone should be able to service the car they drive" territory. A view strongly argued in some pubs until about 20 years ago.

     My view is that it is a useful skill, needed more in some careers than others. If it's complicated then hire a professional. Just like cars.
