Many years ago. When I was at Boeing. The machine shop got a new type of machine. A CNC mill. It used a magnetic tape to run the mill. The magnetic tape was new to the machine shop. The first question that came up was. Is it a tool. Or a part? My lead man said. Do you bolt it to the air plain? no. then its a tool. So what are you? a part or a tool? It doesnt really matter. As long as you are the best tool you can be.

That's the first sensible thing you've said in half a century or more ...
