I know many good drivers what oil/coolant or clutch is and heck I even don't know my brake levels being a DIY car enthusiast. They just call for service if something shows up on the dashboard or hear something.

That does not mean they are ignorant drivers as long as they know how to drive safely and make regular services according to manufacturer's guide.


Great post! Unfortunately it's on quora


I don't mean this sarcastically but what's wrong with quora? I've always found it to have pretty good content but your comment seems to be implying it's assumed to be a bad place to read things. Why?


To read the rest of this comment, please log in or append a secret URL parameter to the URL.


Or disable JavaScript :D (e.g. NoScript/ScriptSafe)


What's the secret URL parameter?


?share=1, though it's not a secret, it was posted about when this change went in: https://blog.quora.com/Making-Sharing-Better

Then again, who's going to find that old blog post :P


Thank you!!

(I figured out you don't have to pass anything specific into the share parameter, you can do "?share=poop" or even just "?share."


Hah, nice :)

Also, this parameter used to (maybe still does) set a cookie so that you can browse around the rest of your session without worrying about a sign up modal.


Thanks for pointing to the original article.


Totally agree! Puzzles are just one way of studying human (or animal) behaviour in a controlled environment. It's absurd to be used as the main tool to evaluate a person's competence.
