I was trying to make a simple initial reference, thats thinking too much

30psi through a macdonals straw and 30psi through a drain pipe is still 30psi but is still different,

I was trying to give a example people could relate to. In a but nut shell checking the Voltage of a alternator to see if its knackered is not going to tell you if it is or isnt its only going to tell you one that might be wrong.
