    It’s the tool that she’s learned to get the job done, the virtue of the tool does not matter to a master craftsmanperson, only their proficiency.

      That might be the stupidest thought terminating cliché ive ever heard. The virtue of the tool absolutely does matter. I’m not out here trying to metaphorically mine iron with a pickaxe when we have metaphorical excavators available, and no amount of expertise will allow somebody to be more efficient with the pickaxe than any random novice with an excavator.
