    Since slotted screws were invented in the 1400's I say your claim has no merit. ;)

    A Robertson, also known as a square,[18] screw drive has a square-shaped socket in the screw head and a square protrusion on the tool. Both the tool and the socket have a taper, which makes inserting the tool easier, and also tends to help keep the screw on the tool tip without the user needing to hold it there.
