> "I'm using technology I know that will get us there" is not the same as treating every problem as a nail.
Hammering in a screw is using technology that the hammer-wielder knows will get there. You’ve just rephrased the statement.
What you seem to be saying is that in some cases, the hammer may be the appropriate tool. No-one disputes that.
How do you know it wasn't the appropriate technology?
My point is that the idiom has now come to mean "I disagree with your tech choices".
