I enjoy watching a show like that BUT I would have helped the person rectify the problem. I thought at some point you would have helped your neighbor and rotated the scope after he struggled for a while. Experiencing a difficulty then seeing the correct solution is how we learn.

Reminds me of the time a student in my HS Auto class put his car on the four point lift. His intention was to rotate his tires. He got them off, relocated them and was tightening the lug nuts. Another student came up to me and said he was putting the nuts on backwards with the flat side towards the wheel. I said let him finish then we will tell him. No harm was done. He was reminded twenty times that he made a mistake. I can say with authority, that he will never put lug nuts on again without studying them.
