In my ignorance, I thought the same as most guys, then I saw the deft moves
which a man older and wiser than myself used to pop apart a tapered joint.  A
smart rap is not "banging" on the part.  If you can, talk to a machinist or
millwright who has spent some time making love to taper fits.  Finesse it, my
man, don't beat the freakin' thing into submission.
