It occurs to me that the moral of the story of John Henry is uniquely American- "You will be replaced by a machine unless you work yourself to death. (At which point you'll be replaced by a machine anyway.)"
When I first heard the story it felt like the machine and the people could have been used together and gone farther than either could alone. Besides, machines break down just like people.
