There is no point in trying to argue that all tools are equal (some more equal than others?) but what is important is the PRODUCT you produce, not the tools you used. As my aunt used to say, a poor workman always blames his tools!
And another anecdote - a boy my son played golf with in high school, always bragging about having the best sports equipment 'Dad bought me a $500 clubr' or whatever, was simply stymied when I asked him how many holes in one he had with the new equipment. My son and I still laugh about it.
