A sufficiently skilled person can use a warped and bent slide rule to design a jet engine.

But that doesn't mean the warped slide rule and a super computer capable of finite element analysis are equally useful or powerful.

You can easily crush a person with a super computer. But what are you going to do with a slide rule—lightly tap someone?

You are lacking in imagination.

(Alas, Dall-E also lacks, so I couldn't generate a picture of deadly slide rule kung fu. At least none that wasn't unintentionally hilarious.)
