The stance it's pushing is "understand the reasons why the tools before you are limited, and give some thought into the deeper reasons why you would want to create a new tool. Don't just rush headlong into it"
Yeah, how dumb and harmful that is, asking people to think before acting.
That would be the stance it pushed if it actually had anything revelatory to say about that idea, or if it wasn't trotted out mindlessly every time someone started work on a new tool. As it is, it's just hidebound smugness.
