Wasn't this also the argument for child labor? "Small children can fit into tight spaces easier, lets use them to unjam dangerous machinery"
But the children yearn for the mines!
It's all about the roboblox these days. The kids yearn for robots.
I know I did back in the 80s and 90s when I was a kid. Perfect example of a monkey paw wish, though, as fascists gonna fasc
Yes. For example I know in textiles especially, they were small enough to run under & between machines to get things without the factory having to them off. (Surprise surprise, guess how kids got maimed and/or killed...)
