"Lazy is the mother of invention"

Granted, the duplicator is useful not lazy if its a lot of bricks, but if your duping 2 bricks, its lazy.

Not if you're duping them seventeen times. Then it's just efficient.

Plus, macros don't copy events, emitters, lights, names, etc.

I haven't ever had a macro mess up on me because I know how to do them properly.
Edit:
This topic actually makes sense though.
He's not saying that lazy people directly invent these things.
It's more like:
-Inventor sees lazy person tired of doing <hassle> to acquire <result>
-Invents <tool> to bypass <hassle> and gives <result>
Examples
-Inventor sees Blocklanders complaining about how they have to re-build and re-event the pillars that consist of about 50 bricks each.
-Invents duplicator to copy the first pillar instead of needing to rebuild them
-Inventor sees Blocklanders getting tired of spraying every brick on a huge wall because the color didn't look right.
-Invents a fillcan to color the whole wall with one click.
