Those are not really 'points', though; they are far too trivial. Obviously, nothing counters them, because they are tautologies that could just as well apply to any subject.

The point is to explore a comparative difference in value, and that is realized through mastery of the tool, not merely living in a world where it exists.

You'd have thunk I didn't have to make them than. But I did, judging from literally every argument I had about this.
