Because I don't need to look anywhere further than about 5 feet to find a suitable object. I don't think it's very clear that all of this stuff is required to pound grain. The things I might use to pound grain with are a tiny fraction of whats available, and they don't depend on any of the other stuff for their existence or efficacy in pounding grain.

From my perspective, there would be no way to accomplish my goal that was more efficient.I would hope so, since I'm neither all powerful, nor eternal, nor working with the entirety of the cosmos....and I can do it too. I don't know how you've determined the relative efficiency of any given route to pounding grain with a "found object" though, got some math?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
