It's not a one-time thing, Adam.  If there were a demand for SSTs new
productions lines would be set up.

His impact was hardly limited to gunpowder.

Yes it is true.  I don't think you have a firm grasp on the concept of
scientific method.

Not significant compared to centuries past.

Show me the big scientific advances from those countries.

I don't know that there isn't, but it it merely part of the west and
participates.  Show me the great advances from Arkansas.

Wrong.  As I've already stated, Japan has long since become part of that global
western-based culture.

They were still part of a larger culture.  Your own EU is a similar example of
super- and sub-cultures.

No, it's not.  Again a vocabulary measured in hundreds of thousands of words,
the contribution is negligible.  I know what I'm talking about on this one,
Adam.

Hardly examples of tech transfer to the west.

There is no doubt that they were advanced and that that fed into the future
western culture of which THEY were already a part, but the tech base of Greece
and Rome was relatively static for centuries.

I went to school too, Adam.
