Try explaining this to a person's face, without smiling.I have found that in certain fields, such as computers, medicine, car repair, and finance (I will admit to ONE of these), some human minds absolutely shut down when faced with working within these fields of knowledge, to the point of missing things that even deductive reasoning will solve. I have personally experienced doctors and lawyers that have lost all basic reasoning and grasp of terminology when confronted with the Windows or Macintosh operating system.However, my experiences lead me to conclude that most human beings have one field in which they have a "blind spot," possibly from a previous experience in their lives, or even a complete lack thereof.I myself will admit ignorance on automotive repair. It took three years and a blown transmission before I learned about the wonders of checking your transmission fluid...
