[quote=Accumulator;1283612]GoudyL- I kinda figured you'd reply with something about my experience and we can just agree to disagree (without being disagreeable

It's always something.

I figure I *got* experienced by doing such stuff (gotta be a first time, or first hundred..), and I've trained enough newbies (including my then-elderly father) to genuinely believe that anybody can do this sort of thing without problems if they have the requisite mindset and knowledge base.
That might be the kicker though...people (the kind of people I seldom associate with) often astound me with the things they do.
But *with* the right mindset/knowledge base people can do stuff like this via machine that they simply cannot do otherwise.
Eh..I'm possibly just used to people who are comfortable with irrevocable decisions, you know...used to the "I simply *cannot* make any mistakes here" mindset.

I pretty much share that exact same attitude, which in turn requires a certain sense of risk aversion, and appreciation for how little we know. But overconfidence is a curse, especially for the overconfident with power tools.
One of my favorite analogies is that life is not a video game, because you are
forced to keep playing. There is no way for the OP to reboot the xbox, and
replay the "Machine polishing my car" level.
