Regardless of "the" or "any" stone vessels, how did they make them? With what tools? Where are they? It doesn't matter how you want to phrase it, if you are talking about this, or that, or ANY stone vessel. I say "if" because there is zero evidence.
If you are so sure you didn't offend anyone, then please clarify what you were referring to as being "incredibly stupid".
