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 -- ..Alesi's problem was that the back of the car was jumping up and down dangerously - and I can assure you from having been teammate to Jean Alesi and knowing what kind of cars that he can pull up with, when Jean Alesi says that a car is dangerous - it is.
