I don't remember any of Plato's works being entitled "dick in the dick dialogues."
Of course politicians echo what has been said before, it is not a sign of anything other than their speech writers having researched the subject of persuasion. Use what is familiar to sell what is new. Lincoln's Gettysburg address parallels Pericles' Funeral Oration, not because Lincoln couldn't think of anything new to say, but because his readers would be familiar with the style and would better understand what he is trying to say than if he just got up and started doing a beatbox freestyle rap about homiez dyin' in da field fo freedom yo.
Your only proof for your assertion is that it could not be otherwise, yet my example shows how it could indeed be otherwise. Billions of people over about 20 years have been uploading and downloading porn every day (youporn on a different tab atm), gazillions of dollars are made by internet porn each year, massive companies like google are devoted to archiving and making all this porn (and the few other things on the internet) easily searched... and yet with all that not a single instance of dick in the dick porn.
Perhaps you think that 20 years is not significant considering the 10,000's of years of human existence? (or 6,000 years if that guy in EC is to be believed) But the massive increase in the holding capacity of the earth brought about by modern science, and the attendant population increase means that more people were alive in the 1990's than in all of human history combined. So even though much of what was written in the past has been lost, that which is lost is but a very small fragment of the totality of information within the internet. An internet with no examples of DitD porn.
