Good job on debunking myths once again. Could you explain what would be the great significance of absence of such cranks (e.g. did it mean Romans were anti-technological and pro-slave again?), as well as perhaps any examples of polemical medievalist writing putting this absence to good use? I have in mind, as examples, the articles De Notters (sp?) and Lynn White have written on Roman horses and plough technology, which were taken as gospel but now, in retrospect, are seen to be biased almost to the point of vitriol. Even now, look to what degree Lynn White is cited on the Wiki Plough page :?

Multi viri et feminae philosophiam antiquam conservant.
