And I am sure that there were other Romans writing treatises that said that lead was healthy. Because they didn't have the scientific method or any sort of modern scientific equipment, so expecting them to truly understand the dangers of lead piping compared to today is silly.
Doesn't take much. Lead is pretty poisonous - people working lead get sick, people who use lead cosmetics too often get sick, people who eat lead-flavored syrup get sick. Eventually even the thickest morons begin to notice a pattern, so long as they don't have an information box blaring all day telling them not to trust their woke liberal eyes instead of the Job Creators(tm).
Well, they realize assuming the lead doesn't get to their brain first.
