IF you are so sad that you can commit to memory all the EASA part M chapter and paragraph numbers so be it, As I said you won't be happy unless you have chapter & verse.
I am paid to have a broad understanding of the leagal side of maintainence and a much deeper understanding of the technical side but most important I have the nouse to know when to commit something to memory and when to go look for something in the manuals!
I for instance would not rigg a flying control system without the aircraft manual in front of me, dispite the fact that I might have done the job a number of times before, Its a safety thing!
So now you go tell the world that I can't can do my job without the books to tell me how to do it!!
