They’re two different tools with different purposes, so why treat one like it can replace the other?

    Allow me to add in an extract from the film “The Cube” which addresses this point

    WORTH

    It’s maybe hard for you to understand, but there’s no conspiracy. Nobody

    is in charge. It’s a headless blunder operating under the illusion of a masterplan.

    Can you grasp that? Big brother is not watching you.

    QUENTIN

    What kind of fucking explanation is that?

    WORTH

    It’s the best you�re gonna get. I looked and the only explanation I can

    come to is that there is nobody up there.

    QUENTIN

    Somebody had to say yes to this thing.

    WORTH

    What thing? Only we know what it is.

    QUENTIN

    We have no idea, what it is.

    WORTH

    We know more than anybody else. I mean somebody might have known

    sometime, before they got fired or voted out or sold it. But if this place ever had a

    purpose, then it got miscommunicated or lost in the shuffle. This is an accident, a

    forgotten propetual, public, worksproject. Do you think anybody wants to ask

    questions? All they want is a clear conscience and a fat paycheck. I mean, I lead on

    my desk for months. This was a great job!

    QUENTIN

    Why put people in it?

    WORTH

    Because it’s here. you have to use it or admit it’s pointless.

    QUENTIN

    But it is pointless!

    WORTH

    Quentin… That’s my point.
