But that means the output is a commodity. The *input* -- what you ask a machine to produce -- is more important. And as contexts grow, refactoring becomes cheaper.
If you're a software engineer asking tools to hand you output that isn't as tuned up as it could be -- something you can only do if you understand the interactions and options -- then the failure of *your* context grows in (negative) impact.
