Okay .. I see where your coming from. For that purpose a spanner is useful.
But can you really change a person's mind with a spanner? Better tools for this job are debate and critical thinking. A spanner is the wrong tool here.
But I'm not saying debate is useful *for you*. It's useful for me. I deal with nuts (as in crazy people) more than nuts (as in bolts).
