Sorry to reply twice, but I have to wonder...

How many people, by saying "use the best tools for the job", are actually only saying "use my favorite tools for the job"? (After all, "my favorite tools are always the best.")

I think this happens a lot and it definitely hurts the conversation.

I like your comment about flipping a coin :) It bothers some folks since it doesn't seem like a rigorous argument, but at that point you don't need one.
