A twist on the carpenter scenario:

Carpenter #1: I need you to cut this board down to four feet in length.

Carpenter #2: Okay, I'll cut it with my saw.
Carpenter #1: No, you can't use a saw. You have to use this screwdriver. Everyone who we deal with probably already has a screwdriver and knows how to use it, and more screwdrivers are easy and inexpensive for us to get. We don't have the time or money to teach everyone how to use a saw.



OR:

Carpenter #1: No, you can't use a saw. We've determined that the labor required to keep a saw sharpened, plus the cost differential of hiring people who know how to cut straight with a saw is more than the cost of the extra time it takes to cut wood with a screwdriver, which any idiot can do.
