    That’s like saying people are complaining their engine doesn’t work when it’s their drive train that’s broken.

    That’s not so much a misunderstanding of the structure of the system, as that people unfamiliar consider the drive train to be part of “the engine” which is “the set of mechanical things going on inside the car that makes the wheels turn” or “everything upstream of the wheels”.

    A person who can’t connect to wifi also can’t connect to the internet.
