Sorry.....but as your Avitar's tag line states......"if it ain’t broke, fix it till it is"........I guess a similar philosophy....but it depends on one's view point.........
I'd vote for diodes as well. 90% of the alternator low output problems I've encountered in the last 50-plus years have been diode issues.
I guess you've not read my previous comments about automotive alternators and I won't rehash my position again.....as far as low alternator output (amperage).....the early alternator diodes were germanium and did not have the ability to withstand instantaneous short circuit and surges. The present day diodes use silicon as the junction material......superior in all regards to germanium material....which would explain early diode failures.......just a thought......
WHY NOT????Won't even agree with a guy on the same track....
Misery loves company......or originality......
You tell me, you're the Narcissist not doing so!
It all depends on one's interpretation and meaning of the word. NARCISSIST .......as applicable or not....different situations may require different degrees.....I guess time will tell......

In addition to exhibiting the traits associated with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), cerebral narcissists also possess a desire to receive validation for being smarter than others. They hyperfocus on intellectual topics and go to great lengths to ensure others view them as the “smartest” in the room.
He probably has a lot of good information, but it didn’t take me long to skip over his posts and then finally hit the ignore button. I’m sure he’s probably a wealth of knowledge, but his presentation is wrong, so immediately you are put on the defensive and quit listening to anything he says.
I guess your definition is appropriate......giving credence to the old expression: "if the shoe fits....wear it"......but...the other side of the coin is.....a totally lack of understanding just hearsay, no real time experience.....just what they've been told as the gold standard......
I solved that on my 67 Satellite by rewiring my headlights to draw directly off the battery using relays. I did that to eliminate the common concern of overloading the aging wiring. The bonus was that the stock headlights are now much brighter, and I get very little dimming at idle. I am running a 65 amp alternator, which helps to feed the electric fuel pump for my EFI unit.
