[TMTOWTDI]'s a silly argument. It's stupid to pound nails in with a rock (or your forehead) when there's a perfectly serviceable hammer right next to you.

But who is to say which way is the forehead, and which is the hammer? More important is that the nail achieves its final destination. Maintainability is secondary to that. The tool used for the job is a far-distant third, or possibly even fourth (Forth?).
