The precision drilling is first and foremost evidence of craftsmanship not done by simple-minded hunter-gatherers.
For me there´s no difference between the two anyway, so the often heard argument "you think humans are too stupid to..." doesnt count for me.

Ridiculous strawman. What version of history have you been looking at exactly? One that doesn't include destructive wars??!!??

Alright. I thought hunter-gatherers were portrayed as simple-minded.
In any case, I object to the idea of ancient simple-mindedness. Period.
Ive only read one Ian Banks up to now..."The Game" or "Game of Life" or something it was called. More to follow.
So yes, Im a fringe nut-job. But my reasoning is, within this CONTEXT completely logical.

Thats where we learn of wars between gods and gods, gods and men, men and men, the involvement of several planets and finally a commitment to give earth a fresh start and remove all the technology.
Its really no more complicated than that.
