Bad idea.  If the machinist needs to refer to the Bentley for this trivial
job, find another job shop.  If he doesn't need the Bentley, and he shouldn't,
you're just going to insult him and piss him off.  It's sorta like sending
something back to the kitchen in a restaurant.  Do you really think it is prudent
to eat anything there once you've told the chef he doesn't know how to cook?
