Yet you still probably wear clothing made by industrial looms, using machine-spun thread, instead of retting your own flax in a pond...

A bit half-assed, wouldn't you say?

Treasuring the sensation of making art by hand does not imply somebody is a Luddite in all respects.

I enjoy hand-crafting small circuits but am glad to use my cell phone to take a picture of the result. I love riding a bicycle but use a car to go 30 miles when needed. There is no contradiction to be had here. Just different purposes.

Sometimes simple joy is the priority.
