well, if you saw "a" tain or "a" atomic bomb, it might be able to be reproduced without ungodly ammounts of trouble. (relatively speaking)
: Or, to put it another way, while it might have been
: thoeretically possible to built another Tain, it would
: have been very, very, very, very stupid.
Well, why would they have Connacht say "This is a Tain. With it..." because that is a really dumb line if there is only one of them.
