You're not alone! My (Navy electronics instructor) troubleshooting mentor always stressed: "Never assume. You don't know something to be true
until you VERIFY it to be true. He also said, one first has to know exactly how (whatever) works...to be able to determine when it isn't working as it should! Makes sense.
I usually feel confident, being a "wrencher" since high school. But, when in doubt or the least bit puzzled, I often will attempt to pick an experts' brains for their experience and clues to further investigate.
But forget just once, and ol' Murphy (Murphy's Law) seems to be just waiting every time I forget and try to assume something!
GOTCHA!!! Then, after being fully chagrined, I'm going back to the basics...
like I knew I should have in the first place.
Well...no teacher like experience. Serendipity is a good thing! Your among friends, Hans. And, thanks for posting!!
