Yeah, pretty much.
The whole thing about guys not stoping to ask for directions and never reading instructions for assembling things all comes out of that generation where you never left home unless you knew where you were going, and everyone had basic level carpentry, plumbing, and electrical skills because had built a barn or assembled a kit house or installed a sink before.
Hand someone from that generation a manual of a swedish amorphic blob giving you a thumbs up to assemble an IKEA end table and they're like "yeah I don't need that". It's not about the end goal of having a table. It's about having the knowledge to assemble the table. What is this part? How is it used? What would it do if I put it here vs there?
