Yeah that’s exactly the reason I was so baffled by his instructions. I just stared at him and said “but this isn’t a mechanical issue, it’s an electrical issue” “oh well that’s what I do most of the time and usually it works”
Seeing first hand how he couldn’t diagnose a basic issue like that and how he just trusted some catch all solution to fix his problems (for that particular part) really connected the dots to why exactly he seemingly didn’t trust scientists or the scientific process at all.
Reminds me of the advice you see in classic Macintosh circles; they’ll tell you to stick the motherboard in the dishwasher to wash off leaky capacitor sauce.
