No argument there.

And when producing what appears to be an attempt at a user's guide for
general consumption.
I'm sure if you posted your automotive solution you probably would not
post it as a user's guide (certainly not without qualifying yourself
in the process and give context to the advice). Otherwise someone who
stumbles across it when researching a problem could mistaken it as
authoritative instructions on the topic. Would I be wrong to assume
that you'd probably say something like "I'm not a mechanic or anything
like that, but this is what I discovered and it works well for me..."
