I have have split the 'stirrup discussion' from this topic because it was going wildly off-topic and very vague. It now resides in the Off-topic section. It can be continued there.
I will treat messages that are continuing in that fashion in this thread as being posted by a troll, and remove them accordingly. Those of us who are interested in a serious thread are called upon not to react to such messages anymore.
I'm not against any discussion that includes the development of stirrups in post-Roman British cavalry, to the contrary. But frankly, that last part was too vague to even form a point of view from.
