As Sellam just said, it's all a question of how good people consider
reasons to be.

You (apparently) consider it perfectly reasonable to go buy a whole new
set of tools (specifically, these Bristol spline thingies) to work on a
machine.  You don't consider having to buy those tools obstacle enough
to make it worth swapping the screws for something commoner.

I do.  Apparently a few other people here do too.

And since the conversation appears to have degenerated into "yes that
is a good reason" "no it isn't" "is!" "isn't!" (I'm paraphrasing, but
not all that much), I'm going to just agree to disagree, at least
insofar as one can unilaterally agree on anything.
