This is the essence of the question I believe. Hence why I have
difficulty understanding the mindset that seeks to reduce everything to
"a one size fits all" answer. Even more bemusing is the mind that thinks

(i.e. the tool equivalent of stating that everyone should buy a Ford
Fiesta, and there is no need for any other type of vehicle unless you
are a bus driver! (no disrespect to Fiesta owners intended))
