This is a valid point, but there is another interpretation that once technology advances to the point that its pure magic to the general public, the general public can no longer have an intelligent discussion about the morality of their vacuum cleaner, they have to go all mythological, which occasionally is going to look pretty comical to the enlightened non-general public.

Or another way to look at it, is enough technological progress and specialization results inherently in a fragmentation of what morality means because the concept can't fit the same way in everyone's head (square peg round hole). Its a natural result that some fraction of the population will just meaninglessly babble while other fractions laugh. Its possible to interpret this has already begin with respect to evolution, geology/age of earth, climate change, stem cell research, euthanasia, gay marriage, etc...
