Alright, the "take from under your nose" thing is a figure of speech. But, fair enough. Really, for what I had in mind, Expert was a little bit of a stretch for stealing anyway. And, you can say "When did he learn to become a Master Mechanic." But, my Grandad became somewhat an expert on Steam Locomotive engineering, because he worked as a cleaner for them between the ages of 5-9 (They only employed kids, because it was REALLY tight spaces where an Adult couldn't fit... Then again, it was the 20's and it was Scotland... And this was proper work, taking the tubes out, cleaning them, putting them back in again, kids pick up stuff really fast.) And lest we forget .But, sure, i'll fix the sheet.

Pfft, every Scottish person does real work. Such as me, manly man work.

Also at this time what else was your granddad doing? As a slave boy you'd learn to fix podracers sure. You'd clean, you'd put basic things back on. Get a reasonable understanding. Then maybe get put onto droids. Learning how [i]one[/i] thing works is different than learning how many things work and Star Wars is filled with lot sof different mechanics between ships, droids, racers etc. 

Also re-reading Innuels history can I point out it is meant to be a [i]history[/i] most of it is composed off things that haven't happened yet and might not even happen.
