But they didn't develop it did they, because they didn't have the ability to translate something simple into something eminently useful. Credit goes to the person that actually took a "common toy" and developed something medically useful from it.

Kudos to the creators.

It’s fascinating how toys and parlor tricks just need the next step to transform it to the next revolutionary invention.

For example, the Greek steam ball was the basis of the steam engine. The European trick of having a rainbow cascade from a tower of water or wine filled glasses turned into fiber optic cable.
