> If you're a conductor, you can view the various members of your orchestra as "tools" to produce the ideal musical output.

I disagree, humans are the operators, tools are tools. Operators use tools. A conductor is an operator that uses a baton tool to direct other operators to produce the proper sound with their musical instrument tools.

I think calling people tools is dehumanizing if anything. The only way I know people can be a tool, is through an already existing insult.
