No, it fits right in. He claims that people always get existing
circuits and tweak them slightly. Spice is ideal for people who do
that; you don't have to imagine anything, create anything, or
understand anything. And, as he suggests, it's not a lot of fun.

Oh, I don't know; I don't expect to re-invent many wheels. I like to
make better and/or cheaper wheels.


Well, I'm a circuit designer. So that's what I do. I don't like to
copy anybody's circuits, including my own.

I can't see the logic in that. One of the things I do often is a precision full-wave rectifier for audio signal. Should I try to find a new way of doing it every time I need one?
