It's a decent analogy though: there are many tasks for which a CNC router would be an inappropriate tool choice (e.g. you can cut dovetails on a CNC router, but it's a pain in the ass and you probably could have cut them by hand in the time it takes to set up the cut on a CNC), but for tasks where the CNC router is a good fit, very few tools can beat it.
It's more like a CNC router...
Which is (and this is true) a power tool.
