Why spend 20 yrs studying math if you can use a tool to solve a problem?
It's like the difference between cooking on an open fire versus using a modern oven with a temperature probe.

Otherwise, adapt, incorporate, improvise, improve.
Same argument was used against calculators in the 70's.
The smart students bought programmable hp's and learned to reduce the time it took to solve problems.
