It's like being devout to beta, when Blue Ray DVD exists; not so smart...

That only makes sense if you're advocating a religious belief yourself (such as belief in Blue Ray DVD instead of belief in Betamax). Is that what you're doing?

Of course the stoneage was modern at the time. Just as tomorrow will be modern as well.
