I do think that's a poor argument, but there's a better version: tools take skills to use properly.

The other day, I needed to hammer two drywall anchors into some drywall. I didn't have a hammer handy. I used the back of a screwdriver. It sucked. It even technically worked! But it wasn't a pleasant experience. I could take away from this "screwdrivers are bullshit," but I'd be wrong: I was using a tool the wrong way. This doesn't mean that "if you just use a screwdriver more as a hammer, you'll like it", it means that I should use a screwdriver for screwing in screws and a hammer for hammering things.
