That doesn't go against what I said. Not having the need for a tool can 
be seen as identical to having the perfect tool (a tool you do not need).

Imagine I had said it this way: Tooling shortcomings trump all other 
shortcomings (like language design shortcomings). Not having the need 
for a particular tool, is like saying that tool has no shortcomings 
whatsover.
