Nobody asked, but I'll speak up with my opinion anyway...
The guy is a Newbie, maybe his first collector car, so he can be forgiven for falling for the hype on replacing old parts with new stuff that is advertised as better. Perhaps he hadn't been mentored correctly before jumping in with his wallet in hand. This is our fault, not his. Let's hope he asks questions before he opens his wallet again!
