The internet has been torn asunder by this conundrum so I thought it shocking that SS has yet to weigh in on it. Which are there more of? Doors or wheels? This is purely about the quantity of each and not which invention is actually better. Simple question but the answer itself is likely impossible to actually solve without conjecturing with statistics and making broad generalizations. Let's hope we can be respectful to each other.
Things to consider:
-Gears are wheels
-Most drawers have wheels in them
-Tires are not wheels, they just go over actual wheels
-Wheels were apparently invented 6000 years ago while doors were invented 4000 years ago
-Cabinets and refrigerators all have doors.
-Sliding doors (even ones that use wheels) and some types of windows also count.
-Some microorganisms travel through natural wheels but if that's allowed then so should the valves in arteries and other tissue be considered as doors.
-Transistors in computer chips could also arguably be classified as doors.
Personally, while my mind thinks that the logical answer should be the wheels, my heart wants it to be doors. I don't know why.
