> IOW the properties of my subjective past are not needed
Your website in your profile already establishes that you're a professional bullshitter[1], so I don't think we need to dwell on that.
Even so, things of value can grow in manure. Do you actually have anything concrete to say or is it just handwaving all the way down? What's a superior alternative to steel for the general knife use cases? Maybe nanocarbon-quantumfiber?
From this passionate reply it sounds like your feelings have been hurt, 100%. But is it really fair to expect me to read a 20 page pdf on the strength of some rhetorical hand-wave? You could just say it: The unknown makes you uncomfortable. Do you think everything that was invented was just a cheap copy of what we had in the past? The logic here is underwhelming. The strange emotion is also unimpressive.
Anger and name calling, not returning to the topic as invited. Got it, you've written yourself a covert contract in which it's OK to be unfair, so I'm done here. And please stop letting PDFs do your thinking for you.
