It could just be me, but I don't think so. I would no sooner take instruction from my
C++ comnpiler on how to program than I would ask my toothbrush whether I should brush up
or down.

Instead, if I had questions, I would ask someone with a lot of experience brushing teeth,
like my Dad or my dentist, or a friend at least as old as I am.

Then, I would go try that technique with my toothbrush. If the toothbrush refused to do
what was needed, I would then go get another one.

It is partially a matter of personal pride, and having a desire for the artist to be
master over his tools, rather than the other way around.

Also, KISS comes to mind. I don't like digging for problems, and debugging a cmake script
instead of a Cmake statement is harder.
