      We had lighters before we had matches. We had cans for 50 years before we had can openers. Sometimes things don’t make sense.

        Having cans before can openers makes sense though…

          As does scissors before paper, since paper is just one of the many things you can cut with scissors

            I wasn’t commenting on that in any way. I explicitly stated which item I was commenting on and how it does not make a good analogy.
