I mean, if you lose an arm you probably stop trying to pick stuff up with your missing hand after a while too, doesn't mean it's not better to have two arms.

Are generics as useful as an arm? I think that's a slight exaggeration. I'm sure they're useful in a lot of situations but there's a lot of programs you can write where their absence is neither here nor there.
