An excellent point, but do you think it's reasonable to make that
valuable something your learning vehicle? One's very first attempt at

grandma's prized living room chair.

I'm
calling bullshit because all I see, eveyrwhere, is a knee-jerk
reaction of people screaming about SMT and about how impossible it is
and they have bad eyes and blah blah blah blah blah, and most of the
time when I ask them if they've actually attempted it, the answer is no.
With all due respect, when I'm attempting a repair it's usually on
something that's valuable to me. I'd rather not bet my poor skills on
something I'd like to keep, and I'm not soldering incessantly to build
up those skills. I'm not particularly dexterous in any case, which is
why I'm a boring old medicine physician instead of a surgeon. :-)
