Which continues to be an absurd premise. So if the original use case for duct tape was kidnappings then it should be forever banned because a sample taken at that time had that statistical distribution, and thereafter no other uses can be adopted because it's banned?

It seems a lot more reasonable to prosecute kidnappers rather than the makers of generic tools.
