It is not. The saying originates from a time when kettles were polished metal, and pots were cast iron. The pot, seeing its own reflection in the shiny tin kettle, calls the kettle black.

I submit the compound bow, pictured here with its inventor in the 1960s. It combines two ancient inventions, the bow (~2000 BC) and the pulley (~1500 BC). A brilliant innovation hidden to humanity for like 4000ish years. What two things are waiting to be combined today?
