Response

Both are right and both are wrong. It depends on the kind of machine. When a man becomes a mere attendant to a machine, and does not himself think, his mental faculties are weakened, because he does not have to think. When, however, he uses a machine to make him think, his mental faculties are strengthened, because he has to think. The danger lies in the fact that the average man is apt to become a mere machine, and instead of thinking, to rely on the machine to do his thinking for him. This is a danger which the inventor must always be prepared to meet. The inventor has to be a thinker. The mere attendant to a machine, if he does not think, is a weakling.

Verbatim. The highlighted sentence is the one the judges took as the commitment.
