Simply stating that something was once used for a specific, single use doesn't ineluctably lead to the conclusion that it is not now a multi-use item. On its own without additional support, that doesn't seem to follow. And despite my prompting you multiple times, you don't seem to be aware of that fact.My only conclusion if we consider the original intent and design this it a single use . Now in practical use it could be multi use (technically anything could be multi use ).Really it comes down to context which is why i agree to disagree with Brian because i think both of us are technically right
Okay, and why would we consider the original intent and design when determining whether or not it is a single use item? (Btw, the "context" in question isn't 12th century China.)
