From an outside layman (but very interested) perspective the argument
boils down to which is more important, the use of <tools> or the
invention of <tools>  

I content that, without <tools>, no work of any significance can be
done.

Invention trumps work.   ~Always.~   It is self-evident in the fact that
invention always precedes work.  Without invention we would still be
stacking sticks and scooping mud by hand.

Academics rule, or should.
