It just feels a bit pedantic and off topic, at least for _this_ topic about what yoyos were ahead of their time. If you want to create a dedicated topic for the semantics discussion, maybe that’d be best?

As far as _this_ topic goes, I think there’s plenty of evidence that “just slap some metal on the plastic” does _not_ make a yoyo ahead of its time, necessarily.
