There many practices one can "get away with" that should not be passed
along as advice... "do what I say, not what I do"

Another example would be the way I sometimes handle tools...

You are supposed to change your oil & filter every once in a while.  You
are also supposed to change the brake fluid.  Successfully ignoring
these protocols does not make doing so the best way to take care of your
car, however.
