I agree with this sentiment in the general case. But it reminded me of something from when I was in high school
I was taking some sort of electronics class that had rudimentary programming and the first assignment was to just get the computer to print your name. I was working with another student and this student was amazed when it worked. Amazed just that they got the computer to do anything. I was baffled by this, so much that I still remember it.
