Who Invented the Wheel? And How Did They Do It?
Hundreds of thousands of years before the invention of the wheel, some unlucky hominin stepped on a loose rock or unstable log and—just before they cracked their skull—discovered that a round object reduces friction with the ground.

Only read the first line so far, which is:
The wagon—and the wagon wheel—could not have been put together in stages. Either it works, or it doesn’t.
, but that’s just wrong.
In fact the wheel has been re-invented several times, starting with rollers.

Yasm. I thought the same thing and stopped reading.

As the article goes on to describe, which makes the opening line rather odd.

The opening line, like the rest of the article, refers to wheels on axles.

…although does contradict itself, because they then point out that potters’ wheels were the first wheels on axles, followed by wheeled toys, before wagons appeared :)

It refers to wagon wheels on axles, which were preceded by smaller wheels on axles, preceded by toy wheels on axles, preceded by several other stages we have no record of, preceded by rollers, preceded by sliding on sandy soil …

Good to see we are once again in total agreement. :)
What we all the invention of the “wheel” , isn’t actually a wheel. Nor precisely the “wheel and axle”.
What was actually invented was the “journal bearing”.

well, it’s an effective strategy
first, misinform and diminish trust in STEM
once they start to believe you, use your foundational argument to discredit evolution
