You either have an extremely high opinion of such an individual’s capabilities or an extremely low opinion of the collective capabilities of the legislative staffs responsible.

Sweet dreams little one!
I continued your analogy, not my fault if its fantasy. Let me explain this more, maybe you will see my point of view: Engineers at stuttgart = legislators who made the original bill, which = MB. The bill is pretty much all there except for a couple small parts (= fuel filter). An individual has the tools (screwdriver = internet) and the parts missing (amendments = FF) and is just waiting for someone else to put it together. I guess there could be a mechanic introduced that would be the metaphoric legislative staff, to put the thing together.

Is an individual not capable of putting this together if he/she is reading the bill? I do have high opinions of an individual who goes out of his/her way to read 1000+ pages of legislation, regardless of amendments - you're right.
