Well, it's not just your bike mechanics. I'm constantly amazed by the pains some will take, even unconciously, to avoid admitting they don't know.
Regarding the other sub-thread, I know I don't generally work well with someone looking over my shoulder. It messes up my concentration. And if it's someone who's trying to second-guess what I'm doing and critique... well, it sux. If I want to watch, I'll ask if it's okay. It just seems like courtesy. Plus, I don't want to p!ss off the guy working on my bike!
