Locating issues, causes and repairs, are still left to the interpretation of the viewer. We see that all the time here, at much lower resolution where members, see different issues and offer varied solutions.

In some ways is it much like a Dyno, the car that produces the most torque or horsepower, does not always win the race, but it does tell the builders if they are headed in the right direction.
Well in that case, I'll continue to rely on my thumb pad test - it's the one I automatically use before any other - and the one that tells me when to put the hones away.
