That "oldest" riles me in my own field of interest, archaeology. "Science" proclaims a site or an artifact to be the "oldest" ever made or built. Then a couple of years later another is found that is older and again is the "oldest" ever made. Only once have I seen it said that "this is the oldest yet found"

"Only once have I seen it said that "this is the oldest yet found""

One thing I have learned in working with a Patent Agent to draft patents is just how "slippery" the English language is. Getting absolute accuracy and precision of statement is HARD.
