    Police is the best example of Maslow’s hammer: “it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.”

      I find the reverse to also be true.

      It is tempting, when an object needs percussive adjustment, to treat every tool as if it were a hammer.
