2. "it feels like the invention of the plow". it *feels* like this from a first-person perspective but it is not clear to me that the effect has an objective consequent; i.e. it *feels* like the invention of the plow but it is *actually* the invention of the variable-resistance exercise bike. You get on the bike and you dial down the resistance and you think "I'm going so much faster!" but you're spending the same amount of time to achieve fewer results
