When comparing prices, perhaps this story justifies the value of Craftsmanship.

Around 1920, an enormous generator at one of Henry Ford's plants broke down, dragging an entire production line to a halt. Every idle hour was costing a fortune.
Ford's own engineers went at it for days. They checked every wire, tested every connection, consulted every manual. Nothing. The machine kept its secret.
So Ford called in the one man he thought might crack it: Charles Proteus Steinmetz.
If you've never heard the name, picture this—a man barely four feet tall, his spine curved by a lifelong condition, who could run staggeringly complex electrical calculations in his head. They called him "the Wizard of Schenectady." Even Thomas Edison held him in awe.
When Steinmetz arrived, he didn't bark orders or demand blueprints.
He asked for a notebook—and quiet.
Then he did something that baffled the watching engineers.
He listened.
For two full days and nights, he stayed beside that silent machine, taking measurements and filling pages with calculations, learning the generator's secrets the slow, patient way that only decades of study make possible.
Finally, he asked for a ladder, a tape measure, and a piece of chalk.
He climbed up, took one careful measurement, and drew a single chalk mark on the side of the casing.
"Open the panel here," he told them. "Remove the plate, and take out sixteen windings from the field coil at this spot."
The engineers were skeptical. That's it? Just there?
That was it.
They opened it up—and behind the chalk mark was exactly the fault he'd described. They made the repair, and the great machine roared back to life.
Days later, Ford received the bill.
Ten thousand dollars.
(A staggering sum in 1920—well over a hundred thousand dollars in today's money.)
Ford, a man famous for scrutinizing every cost, balked. He wrote back asking for an itemized statement—exactly what, he wanted to know, was he paying ten thousand dollars for?
Steinmetz sent back a bill with two lines:
Making chalk mark on generator: $1.
Knowing where to make the mark: $9,999.
Ford read it. And paid it in full.
In that one exchange lives a truth that outlasts the story:
You don't pay an expert for the moment you watch.
You pay for the thirty years that made that moment possible.
Anyone can draw a chalk mark. Anyone can swing a hammer or turn a wrench or glance at a contract.
The value was never in the mark.
It was in knowing exactly where to put it.
The plumber who stops your leak in ten minutes isn't overcharging—he's sparing you the flooded basement. The doctor who names your condition in minutes isn't rushing—she's compressing decades of training into the answer you needed.
So the next time expertise looks expensive, try asking the other question:
What would it cost if they didn't know?
Anyone can make the mark.
Not everyone knows where it goes.
