The pastry blender obsession needs to stop, use two butter knives

I watched a kid at my station in Portland try to cut cold butter into flour with one of those wire pastry blenders for 5 solid minutes last Saturday. The thing kept gumming up and she was getting so frustrated, so I finally grabbed two table knives and did the whole job in under a minute. Why are we teaching people to buy a single-use tool when the cross-cutting method with knives gives you the same flaky result, am I missing something?
