Was it CAPABLE of the job to be done?

Sure some cars today have more computing power. In 1966 many cars didn't have ANY computing power.
These comparisons are irrelevant.

I'm sure in the future, cars will have much much more computing power than cars today do. Does that mean we didn't have cars today?

Todays airplanes have Much more computing power than the ones in decades past. In fact many airplanes in decades past didn't have any computer at all.

How did those poor WWII pilots do it? I guess both World Wars were a hoax huh?
