You can use a excavator to dig a hole and you could use your old hand shovel, 
but you would not try to grab and move the excavator's arm with our hands to 
dig a hole, just because that's the way you operated your old hand shovel for 
the past 10 years, and you're used to that.

Both are different tools that use the same method (digging) to do the same job 
(creating a hole), but they want to be used the way their inventors have 
imagined, not the way you have used another tool previously. It may still work 
though, but I doubt it's the brightest idea.

Kind regards,
Wanja
