      The link I posted literally is a steam engine. Not a particularly good one, but a steam engine regardless. They just said “oh wow this is neat. Anyways…”

      When they could have said “oh wow this is neat, let’s make this better and use this to automate production of things”.

      They just didn’t develop this invention further. A bit more tinkering and they would have had it.
