I love analogies. But realistically, NOTHING is like anything else.
I've often thought that if I did what I was best at, it would be to teach mathematics. I have a knack for math, loved my two calculus classes in college. I taught college once, but not math...
I can see that an accountant that uses a calculator may be no less of an accountant than one who doesn't. But the one who uses a calculator may well have less honed math skills than the accountant who uses pencil and paper, or does it all in his head. And a collector who collects raw cards, one who is able to identify cards and ascertain their authenticity, he may well know a bit more about cards than a few of the collectors who only collect slabbed cards and rely on what graders tell them about what they have, knowing not for certain themselves. Not always, but sometimes.
