Apply this argument to code, to art, to law, to medicine.

It fails spectacularly.

Blaming the tool for the failure of the person is how you get outrageous arguments that photography cant be art, that use of photoshop makes it not art...

Do you blame the hammer or the nail gun when the house falls down, or is it the fault of the person who built it?

If you dont know what you're doing, it isnt the tools fault.

I of course expect my lawyer and doctor to thoughtfully apply their knowledge to help me. Why should they be any different?

“compose thoughtfully” != layman terminology

Lawyers thoughtfully write laws that other lawyers understand. I’m not sure why that’s confusing.

I do apply it to those, and I don't see how it "fails" at anything.

Presenting synthesized words as original thought isn't using a tool, it's laziness at best.
