Why are your arguing? Did you always argue with your algebra teacher when concepts were too hard?

What you call eliminating problems is classic shotgunning. No way around reality. Since you never learned good diagnostic procedure means it must be wrong?

Many never learn this stuff. Assume it is too complex; therefore must be wrong. Get angry and become argumentative rather than learn. No argument exist. Just facts. Fatigue is you fighting to avoid learning. Only you can choose to learn or remain argumentative. Well proven reality, for some reason, distresses you. As if learning this stuff would somehow hurt you.

OK, so how an engine works was completely contrary to what you accidentally posted. Fine. And still irrelevant to the topic - rough idle.

glatt has options (and outstanding questions) to find an actual defect. Or to whittle that list down to but a few suspects. Apparently you want him to keep replacing parts as a mechanic did to Cloud - four times and how many $hundreds? A new mechanic who did not shotgun meant Cloud's defect was eliminated the first time. He followed the evidence. A concept also defined in Japan as “work smarter; not harder”.

Good diagnostic procedure finds a defect before wildly replacing good parts on speculation. Follow the evidence. They even made TV shows based on the concept.
