It's not the machine its the deceptive, exploitative and destructive use of it.
"The machines, or frames ...
are not broken for being upon any new construction ...
but in consequence of goods being wrought upon them
which are of little worth,
are deceptive to the eye,
or disreputable to the trade, and therefore pregnant with the seeds of its destruction."
The Nottingham Review, 6 December, 1811
