So if you do not trust the A&P to tell you what part of the aircraft is
structurally sound enough what do you base your assertion on?

Haven't flown a lot of airplanes but the J3 is one in which I do have time.
I do learn the structure and method of assembly of each plane I fly.

Do you
completely disassemble every aircraft you fly and evaluate the
engineering design and structure of the entire aircraft yourself? Did
you require yourself to earn your structural engineernig degree before
working on your private? I'm still challenging your assertion that
trusting an A&P makes a pilot "dumb" and that only those of you
enlightened enough to have something you have yet to share with us
are not "dumb".

I tend to trust no single source including A&Ps. Never know if the one you
are talking to graduated first or last in the class. Some are outstanding
and some are simply wrench twisters and not very good at that.

Look at the way that NOT solid 'steal' tube is attached to the airframe
and
common sense says hands off. If I believed everything mechanics told me
I
would have been killed at least 10 times.
