When you take your car to be serviced, you go there to have the oil changed and the brakes checked. But what they also do is give you recommendations about other things they noticed. What if a mechanic didn't bother to report that there is a slow leak in one of your tyres or that your timing belt might need replacement soon? They would be a bad mechanic because the reason you're paying them is to identify more than the bleedingly obvious and to have more skills than rotating the tyres.

I went to have golf clubs fitted recently and the guy identified a problem I had and actually sent me away to fix it before he would recommend new golf sticks. He could have assumed that I live a Health at Every Swing Flaw lifestyle, but he informed me of something adjacent to why I was there because that's why you pay a professional.
