And I don't understand how people can go to say a mechanic or a repair shop and trust the technician to diagnose their problem. Not knowing yourself just leaves the potential to get taken advantage of.

And I don't get how some people think they will do something right "the first time". And when that doesn't happen, they think the solution is to defer that something to a "professional", as if learning isn't worth making mistakes...

And it doesn't help that everybody has their own perspective on anything, especially when it comes to disagreements. It's almost like human intelligence is designed not to see eye-to-eye on things. So the more opinions, perspective, angles, views, etc I have, the better decisions and conclusions I can make imo.

I think I'm off-topic now.
Se devaluing E6?

I mean the way you interpret motives of other people (falsely btw -- it feels like you are biased and it's definitely not matching reality in every case) who stick to certain conclusions seems like you are coming at it from a devalued Se pov. That and/or Irrationality.

As for going to a repair shop: you can check their references if that helps you feel better.

And no, I don't think learning everything yourself is worth the waste of time. A day is 24 hours only. Sometimes yes you want to learn it yourself but sometimes you do want to delegate the task to the professional. And I don't see why you put that word in quot. marks lol. Do you think there is no such thing as a professional who actually has valid and deep expertise?
