The following conversation between two future look-backers might give us a clue.

“You can’t be serious?”
“I’m telling you, 100% it’s an ancient dental implement.”
“Dental tool? Do you take me for some kind of naïve fool?”
“It is! Look at the size, look at the shape, soft on the gums, surely designed to give a gentle scrape.”
“Gentle scrape! Have you lost your mind? That blue end could smooth dessicated rhino hide!”
“Come on then smarty pants, what’s your solution by chance?”
“It’s obvious, to anyone with a soupçon of sence, it’s a pregnancy test for ancient pagans.”
“O, really, I do not think! Are you basing that on the blue and pink? That’s not even science, you’re losing it mate, by the 20th century that thinking was out of date.”
“I’ll take your point, but I know what’s what, hence I refute the claim of something it’s not”
“Do you mean the case made by Blizzard and Stapler, that it was used to remove words and pictures written and drawn on paper?”
“Yes.”
“That’s just chuffing stupid!”
