By his definition, we could argue that a catapult or bow and arrow are not tools

Uh no, not based on his definition. Catapult and bows are simple. You can evaluate the result of using these tool instantly, and the corresponding adjustment is something you have to make, because you are wielding the tool. This is what he means by "wielding".

Compare and contrast with complaining to an LLM that "the margins look wrong".
