I think
_everyone_ here could do component-level troubleshooting if
they wanted to. It's mostly a matter of logical reasoning, and I
think everone here can think logically.
This implies that those of us who
can't or don't do it are lazy,
Well...perhaps, but that's not how it struct/strikes me; rather, to me
all it says that those of us who don't don't want to. Now, *that* may
be because we're lazy, true, but it could equally well be because we
don't enjoy debugging as much as Tony does and would rather, say, go
cook something new, or dig weeds in the garden, or play chess, or
what-have-you. Or even because we consider ourselves incompetent to do
anything with the result if we *did* believe we'd isolated the failure
(which, for example, is mostly true for me for anything finer-pitch
than than 0.1" through-hole DIP parts).
