    While I generally agree with this it is often not true for 
resistors. If you measure a resistor in place it will measure either the 
correct value or less. If it measures higher its bad. Can sometimes save 
some time when trouble shooting. Caps are a different matter and 
generally have to be disconnected to get a valid meaurement.
