That’s why I seem to be obsessed with voltage-dividers
Further proof that people tend to use the "tools" in their current toolbox to solve problems before searching for new tools. Some people know when (learn when) to search for new tools and some people end up trying to create crazy Rube Goldberg solutions with existing tools (or they grab a sledgehammer, to pound a finishing nail, a chainsaw to cut a dowel or a gun to solve an argument).
Cheers.
