I agree with your observation. In my simple life as a repair
tech, capacitors are usually either go, or no-go. So, the

Whatever, but I prefer to know wht really failed rather than throw
parts at a problem. In electronic repair that is called Shot
gunning.
Most of the techs at my last job worked that way. I found the
problem
and fixed it. I did three to seven times their work each day, by
doing
it my way and used about 5% of the parts.

You can't fix stupid. You can't even put a Band-AidT on it, because

Teflon coated.

That's because you really, really know your ****! I only know enough
to shotgun new parts in until it works.
