- SK> Let me try to give a analogy here. Lets say you wanted to build a desk.

- SK> buy screws, glue, lumber, and varnish, bring them home, and build the
- SK> desk in a week. Or, you can try to first put together a machine shop
- SK> that will enable you to make your *own* woodscrews, a distilling
- SK> facility to produce your own varnish, a sawmill to make lumber out of
- SK> trees, figure out how to work it all, and have your desk finished in 2
- SK> years. Is it lazy to just buy the screws and varnish? You'll probably
- SK> get a better desk at the end by buying the screws and varnish, because
- SK> the people who sell varnish commercially have much more time and
- SK> equipment invested in learning how to produce varnish than you could
- SK> manage in a year. You might as well pay your $5 and get the advantage
- SK> of all their hard work. Even better if you build a desk and a table,
- SK> and both can use the same varnish.
