All,
If it works, don't fix it.
I've heard that one too often to let it go unchallenged.
Nothing personal - it's just one of those quips that too
many people use.
We had a punch card reproducer at our installation.
Periodically, about once a month, a maintenance engineer
would come and service it.
I used to dread these occasions.
Before he came, the reproducer was working perfectly.
After he left, we'd find that it wasn't working properly,
and we'd have to put in a call to the company to come and repair it.
Your "examples" of dentists, motor cars, are inappropriate.
Do you have check-ups at your dentist?
When was the last time you went to a doctor for a check-up?
Or do you go to a doctor only when it takes an ambulance?
When you take your car to the garage, do you drive?
Or do you wait until it needs to be towed?
