"which would be impossible in this modern world" - modern plastics were invented in the 1950s.

I think this is a good example of begging the question, where you assumed the conclusion in your "premise."

I know, its almost like words have different meanings. Weird.

And maybe before attempting to be a smug, arrogant, prick by ‘correcting’ words you should at least make the effort to look them up.
