Remember that they are tools, not the product.   They are relatively
easy to implement - but they are not doing the job well.

We can make better and better hammers to break a board in two - or we
can invent a saw.    But we know how to make hammers and we have the
materials and infrastructure for hammers, so we try to make our
carpenters experts at breaking a board with a hammer.
