Intelligence is not directly correlated with ability to do DIY. Ability
to read instruction manuals may well be.

Then how, as five year old, did I find and re-assemble my beloved tricycle
that lay in component parts in a box?
I did this, without any wordy description, but used what little intelegence
I had at that age and all checks that were made after, proved that I had
done nothing wrong in the construction.

Having said that, I continue to agree with most of what you post here :-)
