That 'someone' has been me. Since I was a little kid taking stuff apart
I've wanted to know how stuff works.
 

I can recall (mid-60's, 10 years old or so) pulling apart Mum's Steam
Iron which had stopped working. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it
functioning.

Not sure why. It was about $230.
