Real story
Three cars parked side by side in a showroom. Left: a Honda Civic with a price tag of $25K and a speedometer showing 'fast enough.' Middle: a BMW M3 with a price tag of $75K and a speedometer showing 'powerful.' Right: a Rolls Royce with a price tag of $350K and a speedometer showing 'the best.' Clean showroom lighting.

Three cars. All drive. Very different price tags.

A Honda Civic gets you to work. A BMW M3 gets you there faster with more power. A Rolls Royce gets you there in supreme comfort with every feature imaginable.

Nobody buys a Rolls Royce to commute 3 miles. Nobody races a Honda Civic at Le Mans.

Haiku, Sonnet, Opus. Same idea. The task determines the model.
