Firstly, congratulations on your retirement. We all appreciate your unique perspective.
Secondly, I've heard before that "they can't just start building the ___ again, because the tools have been destroyed". I've long wondered, why get rid of them in the first place, and more importantly, what's stopping them from building the tools again? Surely it's easier to invent the wheel the 2nd time around...what am I missing here?
