 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.

Cybe,

And who do you think wrote the tools such as Windows, Linux, C++ compilers, Oracle Database and more? Hint: NONE of them were written by academics.
