Exactly. I contend that if our great great grandmothers had had machines, they would have used them too. Making quilts is a personal experience and it should be done as it works for us. I also think that machine pieced and quilted hold up better.

It really isn't dinner if you used a range top.
You didn't really go to the store if you drove.
If it's not in the paper it's not news.
If you didn't birth the child it's not yours.
It's not really a letter if you used email.
If you are not facing each other while you talk it's not really a conversation.
If you are skyping (?) and looking at the other person on your computer as you talk, it also is not a conversation.
I bet there are a million ideas out there, all not valid because not done the way they used to be.
Think, if no one did anything "their" way, instead of the "right" way, we'd all be doing the same ol' same ol', and there would be very little point to QB.
