•	Corollary to "if you can't open it, you don't own it"?
	Posted these questions initially over here Whole thought came up after reading "Anathem" by Neal Stephenson where one of the characters (Cord) who seems to fit the bill as a 'maker' said they would not use any technology that they could not understand. Got me thinking: Is there a corollary of "If you don't understand how it works, you don't really own it" to the normal "If you can't open it, you don't own it" mantra? ie isn't the whole point of 'opening' to gain the understanding of how it works? And would you be comfortable using a technology that you don't understand? I think 'makers' as a whole would be driven to understand the tech they're using, but would that extend all the way to being uncomfortable with (or even not using) something you don't have a basic understanding how it works?
