There are lots of them out there, either in video or written form. We know of one guy spotted following a YouTube video while he did the customer’s repair. (Spoiler; the guy’s repair attempt wasn’t successful- in fact, he made things worse).

Does any of this matter in practice? Yes, it does- and here’s why.
