Ah, but remember that old joke:
Homeowner has plumbing problem and calls plumber.
Plumber arrives, surveys situation for a couple of minutes, hauls out a big
pipe-wrench and hits the pipe hard.
"That'll be $200", sez the plumber.
The homeowner is outraged. "Whaddya mean $200!? All you did was whack the
pipe! I could have done that!"
Plumber ponders for a few seconds, scribbles on a pad and hands homeowner an
itemized bill ~
"Hitting pipe ... $5.00
Knowing where to hit ... $195.00"
At least some of that other eighty percent of your time is where you learn
all about "where to hit". Yes?
