Can we talk about "center bore" for a minute?
Having spent my whole career as an engineer, I can tell you it is no different than any other profession. I work in a place with hundreds of other engineers. Many are some of the smartest people I have ever met. Some are nitwits that cant hook up jumper cables on their own. Just about like any other job. Just because you have an education in a field doesn’t mean you are good at it.
