I have come across more than a few pilots who think they know everything, including how to fix an aeroplane.
Problem is most of them are scared of bleeding and getting their hands dirty.
I would guess that you have probably come across more than a few pilots who think they know what is wrong with an aeroplane. Most of us want bugger all to do with fixing it, but after many thousands of hours on the same type, I can tell when it is broken (ground tested and found serviceable - my ass) and often what is broken as well (xxx swopped with yyy for trouble-shooting - just delaying the inevitable and probably looking for a turn-back).

Let me guess, you’re a pilot and a Psychologist?
Nah, pilot and engineer - the type with the degree that is.
