Maybe you have completely missed the point. Jinx's reply is only a example of the topic which is why sentence one also is so relevant:
> Another and perfect example of Toyota's problem.

Meanwhile, specific links were provided in that other discussion. They could not have not been clearer - with multiple choices. Get diagnostics from the hard drive, from the provided CD-Rom, from the Sony web site, or from the disk drive manufacturer. In each case, specific links. And multiple options to make it even easier.

I have no idea what you are saying about "Go to [this link]... " because that is exactly what I did. And because that is not the topic. The topic is how humans make solutoions so complex. Or in this case, if the links are not clear, the ask for clarity.

Bottom line - you seem to think why jinx intentionally ignored me is the topic? It never was. It was a perfect example of the point. I provided 'right on' accurate procedures to identify a suspect and solution. And the only reason it was not followed is the most difficult obstruction to technical solutions - humans. Is this a discussion of that computer failure? Obviously not. And I keep saying it here for good reason. This was (and that is why the first sentence is relevant - why do you not see that?) a discusson of why Toyota's problems are made so more difficult.

I could not make the point clearer - in the very first sentence. And repeated it in the last sentence. "And Toyota's most complicated issue to a technical solution." How much clearer could I be?
