The truth fits

Working with your hands for a long time, mechanics and kinetics become intuitive, you gain a tactile understanding of the world.

You attain a sort of sixth sense when troubleshooting broken items — something catching, a shorted wire, a leak, a clog, you name it. You begin to find faults like a water dowser locates an underground spring.

And that sort of pragmatic thinking bleeds over into day to day communications. In conversation or observing media, inconsistencies and bad arguments stick out. The logic simply does not work.
