Anecdotal evidence is as good as a fart in the wind. Feel free to link any studies and I'll change my mind (hard to do, this stuff wasn't being studied 30+ years ago, not much valid data pointing back that far). So anecdotal vs. anecdotal, I wasn't around 40 years ago, but tcoat and humfrz were, my parents were, things weren't so different.

lol you know 'handyman' used to be a valid profession right? Maybe grandpa could unclog a toilet or clean a carburetor, but odds are his neighbor couldn't and either called someone or paid his neighbor a case of beer to get the lawnmower going or replace the heater coil in the dryer.

The vast majority never had a clue, don't let nostalgia fool you.
