The point wasn't that the seashells were absurd.
Remember that when Stallone asks about how to use them, everyone else instead of explaining how they work starts laughing at him and mocking him?
That is very strange, because anyone in that society should understand how a man from the past wouldn't know about it.
This is the real point: nobody knows how the seashells are to be used, but everyone pretends that they do to not be laughed at. It's about social conformity enforced by mockery.
That was the point, with the seashells adding to the absurdity.

If anything, real life is much worse than the movie.
