Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

That's not ignorance.People can't be expected to know every minute technical detail about everything in the world. That comes under specialist technical knowledge. This isn't stupidity or ignorance, it may well mean that people have skills in other areas that you don't.
It's a reasonably legitimate assumption that something described as "diagnostic equipment" is able to, well, diagnose the fault surely? It might not be correct, but it's not something to look down on people for.
I don't doubt that car repairs and maintenance are immensely difficult. In fact, I know they can be difficult, that's why I (and the majority of car drivers) take their vehicles to a (hopefully skilled and knowledgeable) professional when there's something wrong with it!
Now *that* is a rant.
