Poor analogy, though, because the mechanic with a funny hat is really discussing transportation with you. And cars are not the only viable option.

The point I'm trying to make here is that if he's talking about spiritual matters, fine, he's got that down pat and is an authority there. If he's talking about sex, then he's taking shots in the dark.

Unless his route happens to be a potentially correct route for some. It's silly to suggest that Hugh Hefner automatically has the better advice to offer. You're not eschewing the pope's sex advice because it's bad, but because it's not the
kind of sex advice you're looking for. For a nun, priest, or other practicing single Catholic, you'd be hard-pressed to get better sex advice than that the pope is offering.
It's when we get to married Catholics that we might find some relevant critiques.
