    Those stone tools are surprisingly effective and efficient.

    The innovation block to improve was access to bronze.

    That’s different than a complex shape requiring rare resources and skills to produce appearing out of nowhere and disappearing again.

    If people start using that shape for knitting I’ll start to believe it. But all I’ve seen is that it can be used for knitting, not that it’s even close to the best shape for it.

    I’ll bet a knitter could learn to use one of those and improve on the design almost immediately, creating a better tool.
