Of course it is. Making shovels and digging holes are different skills and require different organizations.

But this is a magic shovel that digs holes and tunnels all by itself exactly as intended. It should be able to do this without any special skill involved in prompting it.

You're thinking post-scarcity. We aren't there yet, but one say well have a magic wand, magic shovel, and magic anything else that is currently scarce.

But it's not unreasonable to ask the shovel salesman to show me a hole that model of shovel was used to dig.
