Historically, nails were invented a long time before screws. Screws as 
fasteners weren't invented until the 1400s, nails were used thousands of 
years ago.

And hammering screws makes temporary *weak* holds, not strong, because 
the screw only touches the sides of the hole lightly. Unless the screw 
has been specifically designed to be hammered, hammering screws is pretty 
much the definition of incompetence and/or laziness!
