In order to redesign something, you have to physically alter it so it is made to perform differently, not simply use the item in a way the manufacture didn't intend. A wrench used as a hammer does not immediately become a hammer, it is still a wrench.

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
