While I agree that assistive devices are necessary, and this could be used as one, I highly doubt that it was invented for that purpose.
Maybe
I suspect that it is for children to use so they don’t have to use a knife. Then again, I don’t know the last time I ever saw a child prepare their own food.
Isn't a child just someone who can't safely use a knife?
Just because most children can’t use a knife safely doesn’t mean that anyone who can’t use a knife safely must therefore be a child.
That’s called “association fallacy“.
No, but the person you responded to didn't specify. They just said what group of people would use these. Those who cant safely operate a knife. That includes children. I'm not saying it's made up exclusively of children.
You're mistakingly assuming that because it was made for a sunset that ist not designed for the larger group. It's designed for the subset, which forms part of a larger group. It's still, then, for that group, especially for the subset.
