    The idea of a printing press was revolutionary but it’s just an engraved plate, ink, later and a weight on a lever.

    I’m confident I could make a printing press without plans having seen one. I’m not confident I could design an accurate watch.

    I might manage a pendulum clock. Just. But that’s far less useful.
