People who can't spin pottery shouldn't be allowed to have bowls, especially mass produced by machine ones.

I understand your point, but I think it is ultimately rooted in a romantic view of the world, rather than the practical truth we live in. We all live a life completely inundated with things we have no expertise in, available to us at almost trivial cost. In fact it is so prevalent that just about everyone takes it for granted.

Sure, but they also shouldn't claim they're potters because they went to Pottery Barn.

Sounds like Communist Albania where everybody had to be able to repair the car and take it apart and put it back together to own one
