Hang on, you're now saying that if something has ever been described in fiction it doesn't count as invention? So if somebody literally developed a working photon torpedo, that isn't new because "Star Trek Did It"

That is a pedantic distinction. You can create something that didn't exist by combining two things that did exist, in a way of combining things that already existed. For example, you could use a blender to combine almond butter and saw

Sorbet is a third-party add-on, not a part of Ruby. It's like if CoffeeScript was your final nail in the coffin for JavaScript.
