It's you. There's nothing inherent about the system other than plastic and electronics. It's the people who can make it good or bad. Get a mechanic sitting behind you, you'll probably suffer. Get a concert violinist and you'll never know they're there.
Sounds like a classic PEBKAC problem. (Or in this case, PEBSAS?)
