I like to think that the method gives me a bunch of tools to use, and sometimes one needs a hammer and chisel and other times a blowtorch will do. A master mechanic (and I don't claim to be one yet in this analogy) knows there is a time and reason for each tool in his tool kit to be used.

And he must be mindful that there may be new tools in the future to consider adding to the collection.

Totally agree Charles
