    I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. -- Albert Einstein 
  

  We'll be back to 80K year old tech, if we're lucky. Einstein was an optimist.

  The paper does not appear to distinguish between 'darts' used with atlatl throwing sticks, and arrows used with bows. Darts were used before bows.

  (projectile point design is difficult; you can't haft archaic and yeet it too)

      As a non-native speaker, you have to sound it out. It's a pun of "can't have your cake and eat it".

      HN has been overrun with puns and attempts at humour in the past few years, while substantive comments have declined imho. But that's just the way it is.
