Aside: the ship using the AM sank.

The more interesting questions: Was the ship's sinking the loss of a one-off prototype? Was the device blamed/abandoned, even if not at fault? Craftsmanship suggests it wasn't an early version--but where are the others?
On topic: humans are no more smart today than they were 2000 years ago; they just have better tools. Nanos gigantum humeris insidentes,someone once said.
