Got told my research sources were all bias and it stung but helped
Someone in the comments on a moon landing thread pointed out I was only using one type of source. They said I needed to check the government reports AND the independent engineers. I started looking at both sides last month and it totally changed how I see the whole thing. Anyone else have a moment where a critic actually made your argument better?

Had a similar thing happen when I was trying to figure out how my old truck's transmission worked. Some guy on a forum pointed out I was only reading the manual for my specific model and not the general engineering stuff. Idk, now I understand why it keeps slipping in second gear.

And once you understand the general engineering principles behind something like that, it changes how you look at the whole truck. You start seeing why things break and how everything connects together.

Dan is actually right about reading the general stuff, but the transmission slipping in second gear on an old truck is almost always a worn band or a bad servo, not something you'd find in the model specific manual. General engineering would tell you that the second gear band takes the most abuse in an automatic because it has to hold torque during the 1-2 shift under load. If it's been slipping for a while, you might have glazed the drum too, which means adjusting the band won't fix it. Have you checked the fluid color or done a pressure test yet?
