No reason to be sorry. You have every right to voice your opinion. From what you typed above, you did not offer any advice but an opinion of what you like and don't like to do and why engineers, like me, don't see things "real world" and all that we design have to be reengineered in the field. Clearly you have a trust issue with engineers...totally fine with that and not hurting my feelings. All we are doing is adding
fact so that those that want to do this understand the issues at play and can make an educated decision on how they want to proceed...or not. No one asked for your resume and we certainly don't need you to state your background unless you find it pertinent to the conversation.
Sometimes I wonder why it's so hard on this forum to just share valuable information that is proven fact without having someone want to fight over it or make it a far bigger deal that it needs to be. You can ignore posts just as easily as you can respond. If you think a post is incorrect...than challenge it...all challenges are welcome. I didn't hear that what I was saying, or that of
@XoVoX was wrong. It just disagreed with your opinion. Make your point for others to consider and move along.
My view of the situation: Here's the data people...you decide if you want to take the advice...your truck...your decision...your money
