Why Is It?

I don't think most people that are having a difficult time taking advice are doing it because they're stupid, lazy or have an ego. Usually it's because they're missing a few prerequisites as far as their automotive knowledge goes. What might seem simple to the person giving the advice can make little sense to the person receiving the advice. Or it can seem so daunting and risky with their skill set that they feel like they could only break their vehicle even further by attempting it.
