I sure didn't read anything resembling finding fault with either the question or it's source. What I've been reading is a generous collective intent to impart some of the education behind making the choice of hammers, rather than a mindless isolated "buy these for that" with no rationale. This is to give the questioner some thought template against which to apply the question for next time, so we won't be sitting here answering thousands of essentially repeat questions from the same people in perpetuity (which we do too much of already). In theory, armed with a logical outline and the willingness to think, the number of questions for which we don't have absolute answers in normal service situations diminishes greatly, and we can figure a lot of things out for ourselves. So instead of an empty and otherwise useless answer, you got both answers, and a kit for use in evaluating future questions. Seems to me you got a hell of a good deal without even spending a stamp.
