Did the guy who invented the wheel go to automotive design school? How about the guy (or woman!) who figured out fire? What about the bow and arrow, the atlatl, the boomerang? Did they attend the Stone Age West Point Academy? Necessity is the mother of invention, not education or what passes for it

Patent clerk, my bad
