Ya, this story is nonsense.

If this was actually relayed by a mechanic they were trying to get you to go away. It's more likely a story created by someone with a rudimentary idea how these things work who imagined it illustrated their point.

You know better than the person telling the story, I find that beyond amazing.

What I strive for my whole life is to develop this kind of telepathy which allows me to know events/skills better than people who actually lived them or developed them.
