No, I'll hit you. Harder.
Shouldn't be too difficult, considering your age.

But to get back to the language debate: That's because I don't care which 
instrument you use. If you use a hammer, I will still say Albert hit me. 
But that doesn't mean the hammer is part of Albert. or that Albert is 
part of the hammer. Or that the hammer is based on Albert. Or whatever.

If a monkey hits me with a hammer, I'll say the monkey hit me. Even 
though it used a tool that was designed for humans, and the monkey had to 
work within its constraints. I may even say the monkey used a certain 
toolkit, but I'll never say that a human hit me when a monkey did.
