I have no idea about the internal workings of a firearm. I know when it fails to work.
Fishing reels either work ,or they don't. Thank goodness they do, most of the time!
Computers, websites, internet, technojargon. A complete and utter mystery to me, but I know when it fails to work!
I have little understanding of gravity. I know when I drop a brick it hurts if it lands on your foot.
I have no real clue how a kilt is made. I know when it looks wrong.

Give me the simple life!
I like your style Jock but I am a Fixer and from being a small child I have to know how everything works from a car engine to quantum mechanics. It has saved me a lot of money being able to fix things that are broken myself.
If all the fixers in the world departed to another planet the earth's civilizations would come to a halt as everything broke down. But you told us all how to fix a new hat so all is not lost.
