    Why would anyone learn how their tools work? You don’t need to learn how a hammer works to hammer in a nail, you don’t need to know how a drill works to drill a hole and you certainly don’t need to know how an angle grinder works to make perfect cuts in flesh.

      I would certainly hope you would learn enough about the angle grinder to understand that the spinning disc is meant to grind material out or or cut through metal before before you turn it on and start swinging it around, or that the hammer isn’t meant to be used on your leg. Linus saw a bunch of packages listed and just applied a tool without understand what that tool was going to do to his computer.

        What’s the last word of that comment of mine? Do you think I was serious?
