Probably because that's what the name suggests.

  as a Greek and Latin student, there are quite a lot of English words that don't quite mean what I would expect. if it's really important that I understand how a word is normally used in English (eg, some critical safety context), I look it up.

    there are words and expressions well know from pop culture, like say time travel, do you need to look up some physics book to find the definition or find some experiments where they prove time travel is or not possible ?

      I don't usually make $40,000 decisions that depend on time travel.

        How do you research it though? Do you read reviews, watch videos or you search online for the technical manuals with all the details before you buy ? The reviews and videos may not contain all the details you will get in the technical manual that you don't have before you get the car.

          if I'm spending that much money on something I can die in, you better believe I'm reading reviews in all the major car publications (and btw, all the in depth reviews do a pretty good job explaining what you need to know about tesla autopilot), watching reviews on YouTube, seeing what owners have to say on the relevant forums, etc. If the car has some new safety feature that I don't understand, I'm definitely reading everything the manual has to say about it before I drive off the lot. then again I'm one of those weird people who actually takes the recommended safety precautions when I do dangerous things. I also do crazy stuff like checking my tire pressure.
