Rebuilding technology (Score 1)

Not to detract from your point, because I believe it is valid, but keep in mind that remaking older technology using newer technology is not necessarily easier because our new technology is faster and 'better'. For instance, in this story about remaking the first video game, they mention that it took 4 people 3 months to put something together that originally took one man a little over two weeks, because of the way the technology used had changed over fifty years.
