When I gave the trinket to you I clearly stated that it was a paperweight not a cookie.

Scanned the article and two things stuck on first glance:
“Inca success in Peruvian Andes ‘thanks to llama dung’—”Cereals make civilisations,” he said. “
I need to read it again.
To: decimon
I raise Alpacas now, (quite a change from the Space Industry!), and I can attest to the phenomenal fertility of the dung. You can grow crops in pure un-composted ‘beans’ if you need to. Or wait a few month’s and have ‘black gold’ for mixing with your poorer soil.

I raise Alpacas now...For the wool?

Their civilization climbed a rung,
when they managed the magic of llama dung.

It was the switch from hunter-gathering to agriculture 2,700 years ago that first led the Incas to settle and flourish in the Cuzco area This is baloney. The Incas did not emerge as a people until somewhere around 1100 or 1200.
This sentence is like discussing what the English were doing in 700 BC. They weren't doing anything, because they didn't exist as a people then.
The Andes region has a loooonnnggg history, possibly as long or longer than any other part of the Earth. But in 700 BC other peoples were around, not Incas.
