I mean, the calculator is my go to analogy I keep bringing up in this debate.

It lets someone with mediocre long division skills to just do the thing they need to do with fewer steps and less friction.

IDA itself is a tool that helps you decompile code without having to do a lot of things.

knowing long division does not help you make the calculator do division better.

Understanding math absolutely makes a calculator more useful to you though.

Apologies. I misread the comment to which you replied and gave them unwarranted credit for not making the same tired point about calculators.
