I don’t know, most systems like the container ship he/she described just seem simple but are actually pretty intricate inside. The logic behind them might be easy to understand, but the devil is in the details. A combustion engine is also simple conceptually: make stuff explode in a closed chamber to move a rod, convert that the movement to a rotation of a shaft. Super simple, yet I doubt I could debug many problems my car engine has with such basic knowledge.
- XorNot 7y agoThis seems like an oddly appropriate metaphor though - engines aren't super-complex once you know what everything does, but the biggest problem in car mechanics is just getting access to the specific part you need to measure or look at.
