understand that maybe by mentioning both in the same paragraph might
have led you to believe I was if I was not very clear in my intention.

I meant what I said, no more no less. I just think you read a little

Of course not, the same way that I don't need an airplane to go from

tool that already provides the functionality (or close) that I need,
why not use it?
