Yes, whittling down a stick is pretty much the same experience as using an electric toothbrush. Or those weird mouthguard things they have now.

I don't think most people would find this degree of reduction helpful.

Correct? I agree with this precisely but assume you’re writing it sarcastically

From the point of view of the starting state of the mouth to the end state of the mouth the USER EXPERIENCE is the same: clean teeth

The FORM FACTOR is different: Electric version means ONLY that I don’t move my arm

“Most people” can’t do multiplication in their head so I’m not looking to them to understand
