I think there is something beautifully functionalist to value things only at what they can do, and not based on any subjective valuation such as narrative or aesthetics.

I’m not that way, but I wouldn’t put someone down who is that way.

Oh don’t get me wrong I agree with what you said, I too feel the same way about this.

I mostly meant to say that sometimes it isn’t just about function (like this case), and then dismissing it by saying you don’t recognize the difference becomes alienation by choice.
