Hub we all understand you're never wrong. I've accept you get most of your advice from your meat puppet. So blame him. It's ok, even though you espouse yourself to be the most knowledgeable person on this site (hell who am I kidding...in motorcycling), you actually didn't know why this particular screw was painted.
LOL don't remove it! Come on man, are you serious? All the paint marking means in this case is it's been tightened to the proper specification. That's all it means. So if you remove it, all you do is tighten properly again and mark it again (if you want to go by the book)! It's that simple.
As far as your justifying your original statement, this is what you do. This is how you figure out that you're never actually wrong about anything. You can't accept that you were wrong, so now you've got to start twisting your meat puppet around until it and your head agrees. Frankly I'd hate to see what you do to you poor meat puppet when this shit goes down.
Hub: "Dammit you were wrong again meat puppet!"
Meat Puppet: "Nope you just didn't understand me. When I told you to pull your hose off I was talking about me!"
Hub: "Bullshit!" (starts beating meat puppet with with the blunt side of an axe)
Meat Puppet: "NNNNNNnooooOOOOoooooOONNNOOooooOO ....yes...YEYEEYYEESSSSSSSS...Guess what hub there are no PAINTED BOLT INSPECTORS!!!!"
Hub: "GOODDDAAAAMMM YOU MEEAAATT PUPPPEETTTT!!!!"
That's ok dude, I won't ride you on this for long. I'm sure you'll be making another mistake here again shortly I can ride again....and again...and again..and again.
