As someone who works with manufacturing, I don’t think it’s silly. Precision is not just a function of time available, manpower and talent, but also tooling technology. Manufacturing a single replica with today’s technology is believed to be challenging — and has not been attempted yet — but hopefully someone will take the challenge soon. There are no serious claims that these can be made with known ancient technology and time+manpower. Your response is often the response of people in archeology who do not understand precision manufacturing with hard materials, and shows how underrated these artifacts are.
