As far as I can tell, that's what you're saying.
There's a reason why I'm so supprised at your words.
And annoyed, but I'm used to people blaming random historical groups for their own shortcomings.
Depending on the locale? Some certainly are. Mead and some wines are made in some euro monestaries.
Bankers? None. Traders? Few, if any. Industrialists? Effectively none, but there's some evidence of master craftsmen in a number of places.
All of this is meaningless, however. Are you really...
...... You have an insanely low opinion of, well, most of humanity, I see.
You really don't think they could learn something so obvious? That some of them didn't already know it? That there weren't books and experts avalable? If your leaders wanted it, it was everywhere.

Well, it might have taken over 10 years, but we're working on the 3rd World War, COVID happened, and schools have been caught with gay sex stuff.
4 out of 5 ain't bad.
Did the Klingons change after that?

Something to note.
A 20' container is rated for 19 958 Kg, and a 40' container, 20 185 Kg.
