But I learned a long time ago that it's
more important to simply get the damned thing fixed. If that means
shotgunning likely components, so be it.

Would you be happy for a car mechanic to shotgun a fault on your car,
with you paying for his time and all the parts he is unnecessarily
fitting?

If the parts are cheap with little or no additional labor, and done to
prevent a repeat failure in the near time frame, as is often the case with
TV's, then yes, I would be happy, and so are my customers.
