Do you use a calculator for 2 x 3 because you need one for
2.34 x 3.45? You are wasting your life if you use Maxwell's
equations for simple EM problems.

Work smarter, not harder!

The smart way is to use the tool that *always* works - especially when
it's no harder to use.

It's not smart to use a tool that only works some of the time *and* has
nothing extra to offer.

The something extra is simplicity. The equations for a small loop, for
instance, are not the full equations but a simplified version. Virtually
all of our often-used equations are simplified versions.

Every electronic instrument we use only works some of the time.
