Unfortunately, stupid people (like Brooksy) *don't* listen to smart 
people, they are too stupid / arrogant to realise they are stupid and so 
they *never* stop being stupid.

And *another* whole issue when it comes to Brooksy ... or is it another 
or part of the same thing?

Stupid enough to not realise he is and also stupid enough to hold 
fantasy over fact?

I'm having similar issues dealing with someone just like him now. He 
can't understand a DMM or a PC based diagnostic unit and so resorts to 
using a hammer on everything.

No matter how many time you explain or get him to hold fire, the urge to 
do *anything*, even if that just causes damage, causes others more work, 
doesn't seem to stop him and he never learns from it. He simply doesn't 
know he doesn't know.

Then the support stops and he sits in all the stuff that was working but 
he then broke because he doesn't understand how to use it properly.
