Explanation may be necessary. All these years I've used the correct
wrench to pound in the appropriate screw. ;-)

If you don't get it I won't explain it.

My Father told me to always select the right tool for the job. It is so
common sense, but he told me anyway.
I'd be embarrassed to say how many times in my life I failed to do that.
However, when I look around, there is no shortage of people trying to use
the wrong tool.
But you are quite right, different people will choose a different "right"
tool.

I agree. How not? It is an innocuous, statesman-like straddle that
it would be hard and pointless to disagree with.
The rub comes when specific metrics must be chosen. How is
appropriateness to be measured? By whom? In what time frame?
