It is all the same narratives from around the invention of the power loom if you look into it.

What I take from that time also is that the hand loom weavers were not incorrect. The power loom did not do as good of a job as they did by hand.

You can still by a hand woven shirt today at a premium price.

There is a category error as if quality is the product as opposed to one input of the product.

You probably don't get to be a master craftsman without that quality mindset so they aren't wrong but missing the forest for the trees.
