Synergy Training

[Panthera]

A guide on OtherWiki suggested that "receive training" in "repair furnace" "raises the amount of health restored when repairing the furnace." I tried this with level 0 furnace repair, and noticed no gain in the furnace's HP bar. So...

does one have to received training, or even max out training in furnace repair for it to make a difference?
is it that the HP bar on the furnace is going down faster than "repair furnace" can keep up with?
...or is this apocryphal? and "repair furnace" does something entirely different? if so, what?
does anyone have "repair furnace" maxed out? is it worth it? (I went with pressure handle myself, and it takes off -50% pressure)

Should "repair furnace" be not worthwhile, forgive me but, "What's better? Thwacking or Safety Handle?"
