John, let's say you talk to five neighbors and find out all of them have
used the same plumber in the past year. In all cases, the plumber was called
for repairs that anyone handy could've done, but these neighbors weren't
into that sort of thing. Leak in drain under kitchen sink, install new sink
faucet in bathroom, that sort of thing. In all five cases, the plumber
messed things up to the point where there was massive water damage after he
left. Maybe he's an alcoholic who's so far gone that he hits the sauce first
thing in the morning.

Is there any reason to expect that the 6th neighbor to use that plumber will
have a much better experience?
