Simultaneous development or the recreation of an observed technology
is possible, but this is not the point.
I think that the Mahendo'sat had this tech at the start of _CV_ in
widespread use - hunters on the rim had it.
Py thinks that the mahe got/observed the technology, assimilated it
for their ships and distributed it to the fleet IN ONE HANI YEAR.
Wether this happened or not doesn't matter - Pyanfar thinks it is
possible in one hani year, and one human year is in my opinion not
long enough, thus I conclude that a hani year is longer than a human
year.
