14. I'm sure someone said the same thing about bows & arrows

People used to bite each others throats out in hand to hand combat, then archers were able to kill from yards away.

Then the gun allowed more distance, then artillery from even more distance, then aircraft, then missiles, now drones.

Your argument was probably used at each technology change.

I suppose you prefer we go back to hand to hand combat?
