It Is Not the Tool's Fault for Bad Results

I have been researching marketing tools that can help us build our online businesses.

I recently wrote a post about readability tools. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/glenpalo/blog/list-of-readability-tools-to-improve-your-writing/a_aid/55d2261e

I read many negative reviews as well as positive ones. I also read many comments, positive and negative.

One common theme among the negative reviews and comments is the idea that the tools weren't any useful or lacked value. People also commented on not getting results by using the tools.

Did it ever occur to the reviewers and commenters that the problem is not the tool but the person using the tool?

The results depend on the skill, knowledge, and experience of the builder.

The failure to achieve the desired result is not the fault of the tool kit. However, so many of the negative reviews blame the "tool."

Another aspect of the negativity I saw related to the commenter's perspective. I describe it this way from an old saying.

If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.

You hit the nail on the head there @glenpalo, we do need to know how to use the tools if we want them to work for us, thanks and stay awesome.
