Today isn’t much different than ancient times. Why, some people actually believe that the reason why geese disappear every fall is because someone is eating them.
Aristophanes and Aristotle described birds from the north of Europe flying through Greece heading south to Africa in fall and returning in the spring. Then came the church and the dark ages and it took us about another 800 years to dig our way out of that and start thinking again. In fact, 2000 years after Aristotle we were still killing witches in Salem.
I went to the Patent Office trying to register some of my inventions. I went to the main desk to sign in and the lady at the desk had a form that had to be filled out. She wrote down my personal info and then asked me what I had invented.
I said, “A folding bottle.”
She said, “Okay. What do you call it?”
“A Fottle.” I replied.
“What else do you have?” she asked.
“A folding carton.” I said.
“What do you call it?”
“A Farton.” was my reply.
She snickered and said, “Those are silly names for products and one of them sounds kind of crude.”
I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the office without even telling her about my folding bucket.

They denied it, of course, even though officers pointed out that they’d be the only ones nearby with the knowledge and skill to do it.
