If you say to yourself "I'm here in this environment, how do I make a living?" some of the theories of armchair archaeologists don't make sense. The hard part is viewing the scene with fresh eyes. I know how to make a figure 4 trap or deadfall. Do I have to assume Ogg never figured it out? I've ground corn with a mano and metate. Can I assume an early human wouldn't have figured out rubbing hard seeds between two rocks didn't make them easier to eat?
