A twist on the carpenter scenario:
Carpenter #1: I need you to cut this board down to four feet in length.
Carpenter #2: Okay, I'll cut it with my saw.
Carpenter #1: No, you can't use a saw. You have to use this screwdriver.
Everyone who we deal with probably already has a screwdriver and knows
how to use it, and more screwdrivers are easy and inexpensive for us to
get. We don't have the time or money to teach everyone how to use a saw.
Tongue planted firmly in cheek,
Donna
