He never said that axes were better than swords. He postulated an observation. And no, you get more done in terms of practicality with an axe. Try to chop a tree down with a sword. I'll wait. If I'm hiking through the country with a limited amount of weight able to be carried then I want one tool with multiple uses. A sword is a purpose-built instrument. Axes are as good for banal purposes as combat ones. You can find a multitude of axes at the local hardware or outfitters. Try to find a sword still forged with its heavy duty intent still in mind. You won't, because swords are obsolete, and axes are better. Progress as ordained it.
