I know you're being somewhat facetious, but have you considered how much the wheel has actually been reinvented?

The first wheels were probably logs under rocks. Then axles got developed, then spokes, then tyres etc.

Everything from the gyroscope to the LHC can attribute it's beginnings to the humble wheel.

Reinvention is, if not always good, always admirable.

Up to a point, I agree. Beyond that point it becomes churn and reinvention for the sake of itself.
