“The first known steam-powered vehicle was built in China, in the 1600’s”
Using your argument, that’s impossible since the wheel wasn’t invented in China and all form on technology are imported from other cultures....
Did I write that this "steam-powered vehicle" was invented in China? I only write that the first known one was built there.
You made the claim that the horseless carriage was invented in the US. I simply provided a single example of "prior art", which disproved your assertion.
Rather than making a hyperbolic projection of what you think I wrote, maybe you should consider retracting what you wrote.
