+1 If we were discussing teaching apprentice roof installers, you wouldn't argue that collated nails (the kind that feed into a nail gun) are worse for teaching because they are harder to use without additional tooling (a nail gun). The 'additional tooling' is in fact industry standard tooling that the apprentice will be using from the very start anyways, and that they need to be comfortable with as well.
