Why should "wide adoption" be relevant? We are already very well informed (much too well informed) that "people" are """odd""". What are your assumptions?

If you need to drive a screw, and few people used screwdrivers - who cares? You'd still use screwdrivers even when people tried to use cakes or monkeys or simply stopped driving screws, would you not?

You already expect "people" to use cakes or monkeys for something when they would normally be expected to drive screws - actually, you expect to be surprised with much worse ideas becoming realities. So?

Screwdrivers remain relevant, and using them properly remains equally relevant. And especially so, when you note that people are there with loose parts stuck together because the cake smudged monkey was not precise!
