Apparently you don't remember watching Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner cartoons. They taught the subliminal message to the young children long before video games.

So who is the idiot? The blood sucking leech that was getting free repairs (because he refused to even try to do something simple) or the mom that was willing to pay and the BIL that wasted an hour of his life? I would have encouraged mom to let B have cold water until his stress levels came down.

That said, we should try to be careful to not judge people because they can't do something we can. Some people just don't have the mental skill to do repair. They may be brilliant with numbers or sales but mechanical things just look like Greek to them. We shouldn't be so critical of people because WE can do something they can't. I am sure that the tables can be turned in other areas.
