@kubefred "Why not use a match?" is a different response than "OK, use a match." The question puts the onus on the person with the problem to prove definitively that a match is inappropriate.
A positive argument would focus on why matches are a good fit. "Use a match. Matches are a common solution to starting a fire. They are easy to find at any store, and can often be acquired for free. The wooden ones are easier to light than the paper ones. Extra-long matches give more time to light."
