Isn't this rather like saying than since a five pound sledge hammer can't fix watches, tools suck?

I find it best to use the tool that is appropriate for the task. This is true even though you might be able to force fit a particular tool to a mismatched task. Saying that there is only one true way is always wrong. Especially since any of the ways we have are at best only good enough for some tasks, mediocre for many, and really horrible for others.

The title should be translated to "Why One True Ways Suck" or on a really bad day "Everything Sucks".
