Wtf are you doing eating with a fork that you couldn’t be doing with your bare fingers?

Preach. There was a lot of fuss made when I was in school about "humans are the only animals who use tools" - of course by then all kinds of animals had been documented clearly using tools, but they were still teaching the kiddos (self included) that "humans are special."

I have been making and using software tools for 45 years, a tool is something you use to make a job easier, faster, cleaner, safer, a tool might make the impossible possible, but that's far from a requirement for "tool-ness."
