I think you have a specific framework for viewing things, but you are being deliberately obscure rather than just elucidating your thoughts, and so I think the downvotes are just. What would happen if you exercised clarity? Bad things?<p>You are saying that a pencil user isn&#x27;t worth anything, but you also recognize that a pencil user can write a script. You feel that it is the script which has value, and not the pencil user. So I suppose you&#x27;re saying the programmer isn&#x27;t worth anything, but the program is worth something.<p>That&#x27;s one lens to view things, but it&#x27;s also a gimped on its own. One should have multiple lens.
