A weapon is a tool,my tool chest overflows..
Automaton is something, something does automatically.
A bow nor an arrow can be fired automatically,not when you state !..

This was the analogy in the article: When humans strung the first bow, towards the end of the Stone Age, the technology put the task of hurling a spear on to a very simple device. Once the arrow was nocked and the string pulled, the bow was autonomous, and would fire this little spear further, straighter and more consistently than human muscles ever could.
Chris Welty, exactly.
I remember this movie.
Man,being the catalyst..
The gods are incompetent, arrogant, pretentious, schizophrenic, paranoid.
