Because by picking ANYTHING different from what the rest of the community recommends as a byproduct of experience, he gets to pretend he secretly knows something we don't, when it's really just dumb luck. But hey - lots of people feel the need to think they're the smartest guy in the room. His questions suggest otherwise.

This is the dumbest way to inspect brake pads. Why? You’re only looking at half of the pads. Any halfway decent mechanic, DIY or professional, will look at both outside and inside pads during an inspection. So yes, you’re right. This is a shitty design. Should’ve made the rotors transparent. |

In Star Trek IV they gave us the designs for transparent aluminum but Scotty didn't mention anything about transparent steel. Aluminum brake rotors would suck, so we're SOL.

No, there may be a reason to avoid the PQ version of the pad. There is a reason he didn't suggest it in the first place, since the prices are similar. Either he's aware of this version, or he's deliberately avoiding them.

Even worse, only looking at one end of one pad! The wear at the front edge of the pad could be far worse. Quote:
And the calipers/brackets too!

No need for transparency. Just add webcam for each caliper and stream 4 videos real-time to audio headunit screen.
