Yep - used to tell customers that the word "carburettor" was from the Latin phrase "don't touch those little screws"...
Carbs haven't totally disappeared the way points have, though (some motorcycles, tractors, lawn mowers). I suppose understanding thigs like the difference between slide cutaway and needle taper has gotten to be pretty arcane these days, though...
