Harping on people to get married from up in the ivory tower fails to engage with reality of life in the dating trenches.

Whew, asking the real questions here. I have a few more:

Why aren't more people using horse drawn carriages? Why aren't more people using an abacus? Why aren't more people sending telegrams? Why aren't more people having duels? Why aren't more people paying dowries? Why aren't more people farming with hand tools? Why aren't more people hunting and gathering in nomadic bands?
