We can't unlearn how we make it.
Knowing the chemistry, I can tell you it requires highly specialized equipment to make in any significant volume.
I have to consider the possibility that the hardware has been decommissioned.
So, making more is not just flipping a switch.
We're kind of debating the unknowable here. All strictly speculation.
