My hammer can't do any arithmetic at all, why does anyone even use them?

What you're being asked is to stop trying to hammer every single thing that comes into your vicinity. Smashing your computer with a hammer won't create code.
Does it sometimes instead of driving a nail hit random things in the house?
Yes, like my thumb.
Limited blast radii are a great advantage of deterministic tools.
