What are we discussing? Are we discussing about the tool or the things made from tools?
Its like trolling a raw cast iron hammer used to build a furniture factory and then saying the whole factory is entirely useless just because some invented a stainless steel hammer.
We're discussing both. The original question posed was something like "what amazing stuff has been built on crumbling foundations", and the response was "wikipedia". I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment of the question, but wikipedia is not a good example of amazing technology.
