Well said. Though a cynical contractor could counter that having less productive tools means you get to bill more hours for a given task. Sort of a flip side of the old job creation parable: "Why are those men digging that ditch with shovels? Wouldn't it be more efficient to use a backhoe?" "Yes, but this way we create more jobs." "OK, but if that's the case, why not give them spoons instead?"
