If I go to a hardware store and start taking a sledgehammer to the walls "I'm only using the tools provided" is not going to be a valid defense.

Not a good comparison, the sledgehammer isn't meant to be used in the store, the search function in the website is, don't be dumb.

Okay, the hardware store has a saw for customers to cut planks to the length they need. There are many ways they could "misuse the tool provided"

That actually makes a lot more sense, I'll accept that. Although there are signs saying not to misuse the tools provided. Don't see any of that on Amazon. At least not yet.
