My grandparents gave me a mechanical wrist watch when I turned 13, back when you had to wind the watch every day. I wound it too tight and it wouldn't run, so of course I took it apart. Not a good idea, that watch had a short life.
(PS: I did end up with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering. 😂)
Another reason I no longer fly.

Well then, I guess Jeff Cooper should be drawn, quartered, hung and disemboweled for perpetrating such a falsehood on an unsuspecting firearms loving community. And I shall spend an appropriate amount of time in isoation, introspection and self-criticism for propagating this meme.



Done.
