I like this generalization/extension a lot. It expands the principle that if you have tools that have the potential to get the job done, optimizing the use of those tools, and maximizing the net benefits, is often remarkably low-hanging fruit that most people never think to do. One could take it a step further to cases like the classic joke of “Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do that!” “Don’t do that.”
