Tarbicus,
I'll grant you that. But surely something could've been made from this innovation. Like a repeating rapid firing balista or something in the area of warfare technology. The larger point is that they did nothing with it - no, worse - they saw it as a toy.
That's almost as embarassing as the Chinese not realising the full potential of gun powder, IMO.
