It's as if a master blacksmith who forged a set of threaded bolts used in the construction of a steam locomotive in the 1800s had their thread pitch and form design parameters copied as the basis for what would become codified as ASME B1.1-2024, the Unified Thread Standard; then, when a museum exhibit showcasing these fasteners was being moved, workers mistakenly used them to secure electrical conduit or some other mundane construction purpose.

People copy high quality work.
