This is fundamentally correct. However LSJ did not say the thinker oil is a solution to piss poor design execution. He said it was a bandaid. It’s only a bandaid on engines that haven’t grenaded themselves; “yet”. But……. Much like a bandaid on a gunshot wound it’s most likely going to have no...

Well yea, they’re only good ideas when they’re our ideas! 😂 Story time; I say I want to put a metal roof on the house my wife says “No! That’s stupid! Why would you do that!” One week later the wife says: “I think we should put a metal roof on the house.” Moral of the story; People are only...
