If someone doesn't know the difference between a box-end wrench, a philips screwdriver, a mallet, a spring washer, and attempts to read a carburetor manual and service it, they will for sure end up with a non-running engine.
Philosophy is the very top or the very bottom of all knowledge, everything else is a specific branch of philosophy (even the function and operation of a carburetor).
