  > if we really needed to made pyramids in the same way, we'd figure it out. We've been trying to figure it out for a century and still haven't. Why do you think we could now? Same with the engines. We've been trying to make an F-1 for over a decade. In 2013 they even tore one down to figure out how it was made [0]. They still haven't figured it out.

  > Can you recreate the exact breakfast I just made? Can you crack an egg the same way twice? Entropy always increases. This is a false equivalency because you're confounding a uncontrollable natural process with things that could easily come with an instruction manual and be as replicate as a cake or science experiment. Identity is not the goal but sufficient similarity to meet specific requirements. > It's knowledge that we don't necessarily need, if we really needed to made pyramids in the same way, we'd figure it out. This moves the goal post and changes the subject because the original point was whether or not we lose knowledge, not whether or not that is acceptable.
