Because modern technology is better in almost every way as Musk shows on a daily basis. But technology starts with what works and makes it better. Idiots are the ones who think they can just plan their way to something that works without lots of testing and figuring out what’s wrong and how to fix it. It’s hard work. That’s the part that idiot central planners don’t want to understand. Lik e Einstein said, genius is 99% perspiration. No one is smart enough to figure out everything Mother Nature has planned for you. So you test, and you learn, and you get better.
I think that was Edison.
