I understand why you threw that in.
No you don't, obviously! Apparently you just didn't GET IT.
It is the oldest diversion in the book.
No it isn't. Again you just didn't get it.
Anyone not star struck by the latest technology is branded a Luddite.
Again not true. Not everyone.
I don't understand why you think it is a cogent or even an applicable argument to this discussion. It has no application here.
Again you don't get it.
1) It assumes that someone who does not favor one technology does not favor any technology. That is clearly not the case here.
Not what was expressed, intended, or communicated to most.
So the 'electric starter' argument is not valid in this context.
OK, check your blood pressure. Is it up? I was just yanking your chain, pushing your buttons. It has been a long time since anything I posted or read in this thread has been of any real interest except for the entertainment value. George against the world, defending his comments as sacred text against all comers. Amazing isn't is how everyone with the slightest different opinion from yours could be so terribly misguided. Clearly a case of little Johny being in step but the rest of the army being out of step.
Watching this is almost like watching someone pester a scorpion till it finally gets frenzied enough to sting itself.
You want truth? Here is some truth. Everyone is free to tractor as they wish with whatever equipment they can come by. If they prefer a mismatched arrangement (task vs tractor) for any reason other than a logically defensible one then too bad, so sad but folks employ the wrong tools for the wrong reasons all the time.
Not having the best match and making do with what you have or can get is reality for most of us. That doesn't change the BEST fit of tool vs task it just changes your tool vs task. There is nothing wrong with improvising a solution or getting by when a better way is not available for some reason. Where I take exception is when religious fervor is applied to defend a choice of tool selection that was made for other than best fit.
I'd love to have THE BEST tool for every job but sometimes make do with HF cheap Chinese as a matter of practicality. It is unlikely however, that I will build up a head of pressure and take on the world to defend my tool selection as the BEST choice for my situation and certainly not for universal application by every "right minded" individual in the world..
Again, somewhat entertaining (this thread) but it hasn't advanced usable applicable understanding for quite a while, at least since it has become yet another ongoing soap opera sub titled "The George Show."
Blast away, This should be better than JOTD.
