The personal 'attacks' are what is holding back any real discussion of the matter.
If I say that a car's automatic transmission does not work because of the gears that it is composed of... but instead works because of the 'fluid' that is in it & makes the connections possible...
... some take that as a an insult to their person because they are driving an automatic transmission car & they then respond by making ALL KINDS of personal 'attacks' on EVERYONE that says the gears are not what makes the transmission work, but instead it's the fluid.
Then they say that anyone that has not built or serviced an automatic transmission is not qualified to even comment on what makes it work & not even if they have a complete understanding of hydraulic fluid systems.
They can't seem to personally separate themselves from the driver's seat long enough to pull the plug & see the fluid drain out & then realize that the transmission does NOT work without the fluid.
Hydraulic brakes are the same way.
Mechanical cable systems & hydraulic systems are NOT the same type of system even though they both get the job done by different means & the result may be the same... the systems are not the same.
One is hard wired with cables & the other relies on 'fluid'.
But... you're correct... there should be no need for personal 'attacks' & it really is sad that some resort to them, so much so, that it's nearly impossible to avoid speaking 'their language' at times.
Best Wishes to You & Yours during this Merry Christmas & Holiday Season.
Just freaking hilarious. Go back to your own thread where you belong.
