I agree not brilliant, but It’s early days. If one is looking to mechanise a process like finding bugs, you have to start somewhere. Determine how to measure success, set performance baselines and all that.
You’re right, probably better put as: if he’d spent his time writing instead of working on that contraption, he’d have produced more books in the first month.
And if Gutenberg had just written faster, he would’ve produced more books in the first week?
I’m not sure if the Gutenberg Press had only produced one readable copy for every 100 printed it would have been the literary revolution that it was.

I get your point, but your comparison is a little… off. Wasn’t Gutenberg “printing”, not “writing”?
