Yep,
	I agree wholeheartedly.  My most common failure is myself!  Usually
what goes is the 'experimental' fix, or the quick-and-dirty job.  You
know, where you couldn't find just the right part, and so 'made'
something else do?  Where you worked around a stuck bolt instead of
taking the time to free it?  Where you took the spare out to make a bit
more room?
YeS!
