No tool use.

Again: If you want to suffer from dementia and call this "tool use" then it renders the history of tools & tools use unknown and unknowable. After
all, Monkeys go back about 35 million years, as far as we know, and we
couldn't rule out such "Tool use" before then. And considering that
birds, fish and invertebrates are described as "Tool users," we can't rule
it out during the dinosaur era, or even the Cambrian! So, "unknown & unknowable."

Kind of exactly the opposite of science, that.

YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY WITNESS THE ACTION in order to know that a
rock is one of your "Tools." It's not the object it's the action, and actions are verbs while tools are nouns.

Get it? Even just a little?

Tools are objects but in this case it's the actions which are special, not
the objects.

Instead of saying "Hammering" with a "Tool" saying "Banging" with a "Rock."

There. The tool vanishes. It's like moving from a skilled carpenter wielding
a hammer to a baby hitting their rattle against their highchair.

I am SO GLAD that you left your subterranean cave, with all it's trout,
and put down your domeshield long enough to misunderstand tools.
Honest, I am grateful for your efforts and not being the slightest bit sarcastic. Well. Okay. Maybe the slightest bit BUT NO MORE!
