In other words, it is the truth because I say it is the truth?  Hello, God.

Hint. Sometimes if you ignore it. It just goes away.

Try telling that to someone with herpes

In my opinion, this is a matter of semantics. Fire is a discovery. The use of tools to produce fire was an invention. Conservative man, you can't just stomp your foot and declare that you are right and sway anybody. Essentially, I agree with you, but technically you explained it poorly. "Ability to make fire" is not the same as "use of tools to produce fire". Some will still not agree.

With cold weather fast approaching and the increase of my nocturnal trips to the bathroom, my favorite invention is indoor plumbing!

While we are on the subject of fire, why did someone decide to use it to cook food?

Considering man was probably a scavenger, it seems possible the first cooked meal was a deer or other animal was found after a forest fire that cooked the meat.

Fire was a discovery, like discovering water, etc, etc, etc...……………...the ability to make fire was an invention.  Seems clear cut.  All inventions dealt with discovery, as that is the process of invention, etc, and so forth...….

Since the 'ability to make fire' then, as now, requires "tools", I do not consider it different...………...all inventions require tools of some kind to be created, etc, etc...……..yeah, semantics...………………..

I would be easier if everyone would simply agree that I know more than they do,  but alas...…..

Thank you for helping !!!!

Not sure that you know more than everybody else, but everyone will agree that you do know how to move the goalposts.
