    They… Invented these tyres… Right? Just because stone wheels were a thing doesn’t mean that someone didn’t invent wooden wheels.

    Invent

    Verb: create or design (something that has not existed before); be the originator of.

      “he invented an improved form of the steam engine”

      Literally the exact point I’m making.

      In that statement, he didn’t invent the steam engine. He invented an improved form of it. But not the steam engine itself.

        No one has ever invented anything, since we take concepts were familiar with and mix them

            Correct. Tvs are improvements on still images, which themselves are an improvement on pictographs, which are an improvement on transmission of ideas via language.

            To be clear, we very much invented all of that.
