You never cease to amaze me. How the hell do you figure that???

Would you also say that someone who has been driving for thirty years
knows no more about cars than someone who's been driving for one
year???


Quite possible, sure.

I started messing around with cars when I was about 14. By the time I
was 16 I had rebuilt 2 engines and installed them in street legal cars
that we would race on weekends. In that two year period I learned and
retained more about cars than my father ever learned and technically, I
had not started driving yet.

So you would say that was true across the board? Cause keith was not
talking about "in rare instances". He said and I quote, "Regardless of
how many guitars he's played he still doesnt know anymore about them
than a guy whose only played a year."
