That's a really good analogy, and yes, you're
absolutely right, we need the mechanics and engineers
who enjoy tinkering with their systems, and if your
proposal helps train new tinkerers, then I'm all for
it :)
There's one thing I find very interesting/amusing
though...
Most people *hate* going to get their car fixed,
because the mechanic makes them feel stupid and
ignorant.
And car mechanics don't design the car's interface.
Just something for us all to ponder... :)
