FWIW:

Around the year 3,000 it would be interesting for modern day archaeologist in the year 3,000 to have a serious question unraveling a human mechanical/neurological mystery.

For example:

Even though by 1931, Ford produced 20,000,000 cars with Babbitt bearings, plus so many other car manufacturers such as Austin, Cadillac, Chandler, Chevrolet, Desoto, Dodge, Duesenburg, Durant, Buick, Elcar, Erskine, Essex, Graham, Hudson, Hupmobile, Kissle, laSalle, Lincoln, Locomobile, Marmon, Nash, Packard, Pierce-Arrow, Oakland, Pontiac, Reo, Studebaker, Stutz, Whipper, Willys .......... just to name a few ..... also produced millions of more cars with Babbitt bearings ......... why in 1948 was there a major change that effected human brains to where they could no longer "successfully" adjust Babbitt bearings without Plastigage?

First Guess: Global Warming altering brain cells.

Second Guess: ..... Hmmmmmmm!
