What was it called again? Survivor Bias?
Survivorship/survival bias.
And yeah, it's the same old "they really knew how to make * in the past". Houses, bridges, spoons, video games, whatever. It's just that the well made ones survive, and the badly made ones don't.
Listen my spoons from the 1950's cannot be beat. I hate how hard it is to find them.
Have you looked in your silverware drawer?
Idk, there's certain structures like the pyramids where you gotta give credit where credit is due.
They really knew how to make some shit.
