In that case, I don't want any part of the real world either.

I'd take tapping pins over seating strings any day. Seating strings
periodically doesn't cure a thing (see "periodically"), whereas tapping the
pin down leaves the string riding on a fresh pin surface, and has a better
chance of being a long term improvement (my accumulated opinion). If the
problem is loose pins though, neither does much good.

Yes you do, and you mustn't let those books get dusty. Information and
knowledge change on you if you don't keep an eye on them. We're going to
want a report on your findings too, naturally.
