Screwdrivers are extremely simple. Computers are extremely complex and subject to complex environments. I'm not sure this is a fair analogy.

Then that's an argument to make computers simpler.

A tool that keeps spontaneously changing under its user's feet is not a particularly useful tool.

  • I bet screwdrivers and similar tools would have to change more often if the laws of physics changed out from under them.

    • We should be glad god (or whoever the sysadmin is) is content to not constantly patch this simulation.
