I always like to compare the human aspects when doing reasoning of this type. In this case I ask: do I know anyone who could work out how to do this with the tools available at the time? The answer is no. Then I ask myself why and the answer is simply that most people are literally too stupid to work it out and pay someone else to do it. Which is exactly what happened back then. Someone worked out how to do it and died young surrounded by floozies and beer. At no point did the reasoning need to diverge into magical bullshit apart from some goat blood being spilled probably.
The only modern evolution of this concept is the addition of marketing and HR. The marketing hides the fact that they really don’t know how to do it and how much it’s going to cost you while they try several different ways of doing it until one is standing upright in a wonky manor. And HR exists to utterly fail to find someone who knows how to do it already and introducing an order of staff who are entirely incapable of adding anything other than hierarchy to the organisation of stone putter uppers. Oh and let’s not forget the legal team which writes contracts and letters to dissatisfied clients to stop them saying anything about the wonky stones.
Yeah, but this isn't even news. The "experts" figured it all out decades ago... again. The stupidity of the masses is no accident; it has been deliberately crafted by the few to keep the many under control. In the same way the Church kept all the knowledge that would later be rediscovered during The Renaissance in the hands of the priesthood throughout the Dark Ages.
That knowledge was a handle on the populace;
stupid rich people cannot coerce a populace who is on average smarter than they are. And look at the result of 30 years of deliberately destroying a Public Education system that was once the envy of the developed world: in the 90s, Chump tried to buy the election and
everybody laughed him off the stage. Wait one generation dumber, and you have enough morons who actually voted for him that it became
marginally plausible he somehow was elected rather than installed in the Presidency by a corrupt Electoral College. Just like the Shrub before him.
Make no mistake, historians will mark these years as the
Dark Ages of the American Empire; we just did it louder and faster. Rome took 5500 years to rise and fall; Great Britain 3000 (give or take); the US is on track to knock that down to 300.
